ABSTRACT:
Hydrofoil craft, particularly a method of economically modifying a conventional hull by means of foils to obtain enhanced lift and rough water stability. The method is characterized by defining an axial tunnel(s) intermediate the bow and transom of a catamaran hull or V-bottom hull modified with chine mounted aerofoils; positioning a flexible dihedral foil beneath the water line and on either side of the bow so as to obstruct and create a turbulence in the forward end of the tunnel, while cushioning shock and lifting the bow; and simultaneously enclosing the transom end of the tunnel with a foil, so as to compress the turbulence and lift the transom.
