ABSTRACT:
A hydroplaning wing sailing craft comprising a single buoyant hull having mounted transversely across the hull a hydroplaning wing having forward sweep and inverted gull wing shape. The wing having a positive angle of incidence providing hydroplaning lift and buoyancy to counteract the heeling moment and thrust of the sail. Mounted atop the hull and the wing is a high aspect ratio sailing rig. Mounted to the stern of the hull is a biaxial control system permitting simultaneous control of the direction in which the craft moves as well as the pitch attitude of the hull and thereby the angle of attack of the hydroplaning wing.
