Here’s what our customers have to say: “Holy crap do I love my 35 IFC with the Merc 300 V8’s on the back. We ran her down to Key Largo the other day, snorkeled all day, got lunch at Shipwrecks Bar and Grill, and ran back. Cruised between 40 and 45 mph, mostly around 42. So smooth it’s nuts. Burned maaaayyybe 40 gallons for the whole day. As we cruised the dashboard was telling us between 1.7 and 1.8 mpg, but I’m pretty sure we cruised more than 40 miles and burned between 35 and 40 gallons, no more. So… suffice it to say that you guys have absolutely crushed it and changed the game here. Fantastic work”! – Alan, Hull #4

Frequently Asked Questions
IFC is Insetta Boatwork's Internal Foiling System.
You can expect a significant increase in cruise speed; Improved handling and stability in rough conditions; Better acceleration; A boat that is less affected by increased payload; A 20-40% increase in fuel efficiency; and a 20-40% further cruise range! Additionally, the IFC technology will also provide a drier ride in choppy conditions and Provide for more responsiveness when turning at speed!
The system is a fixed setup, there is nothing to operate and there are zero moving parts.
The IFC Technology in effect smooths out rough seas by allowing the boat to run from wave crest to wave crest at a relatively smooth and stable attitude. The IFC System creates lift which help to in effect “Carry” the hull higher in the water. The system acts as a set of wings carrying the boat at speed, keeping the hull from having to follow each wave across its entire contour. In other words the surface of the waves have less effect on the hull as the IFC system is lifting the boat. Additionally, the aerodynamic lift created by the catamaran hulls creates even more lift at the bow of the boat, keeping the nose high and preventing the “slamming” or sneezing found in other catamaran hulls.
No, you don’t. The foils are flush mounted to the bottom of the keels of each sponson (as well as up in the tunnel.) At its centerline the main foil of the IFC system is only slightly lower than the keel line. The boat will easily load onto a standard catamaran trailer. There is no big contraption hanging way down under the boat.
Remember, the foils are INTERNAL to the tunnel. At its lowest point the main foil is only slightly lower than the hull and is higher than the props. Because of this the odds of striking the foils are extremely low. The boat is designed to be lifted by the foil. The structural integrity of the foil system is such that the weight of the boat could be supported many times over by the foil. As such, if you did somehow manage to strike the foil on something EXTREMELY SUBSTANTIAL, like a stone shoal, the likely outcome is that you may (in a very worst case scenario) bend or break a foil wing. If that were to happen, you could still operate the boat to port with the remaining foils. The IFC foils are made from a very high-grade stainless steel and designed to meet or exceed relevant guidelines for impact and strength.
As water travels through the tunnel and around the foil, a tremendous vortex is created. This force keeps most debris from being trapped in the tunnel or around the foil. Between the pressure of the air moving through the tunnel, and the vortex created in the water, the tunnel and foils will stay clean and clear.
The outboards of the 35 IFC are mounted on a slight outward angle to place the propellers properly to maximize the thrust and flow efficiency created as the water travels through the tunnel and around the foils. This mounting also helps the boat to lean into a corner, much like a monohull.
Firstly, we’d ask, “Why would you want to?” But the short answer is no. IFC is an integrated system that is integral to the design of the boat.
The short answer is that boats with technology similar to IFC have been in use for many years, but not in the recreational market. Commercial and Military applications are quite prevalent. The initial design of a hull and system like this is quite complex and can be cost prohibitive. We at Insetta feel the gains in efficiency, speed, range and ride quality far outweigh the initial design and build cost.
Upon deciding to build a foiling Cat, Insetta assembled a team of naval Architects and Marine Engineers to refine an existing and proven design. Using their own state of the art construction techniques, Insetta brought an application specific version to the fiberglass Center Console market.

Why did Insetta Boatworks decide to build a boat with IFC?
For decades, Hydrofoil power boats have proven to be the most efficient craft for a variety of offshore operations.
While pursuing a B.S. in physics in 1960, Victor Insetta was employed doing anti-submarine research that utilized high speed Deep-V patrol boats equipped with hydrofoils. Their ability to pursue submarines at high speed, operate safely offshore, and, being foil borne: allowed their hull to run clear of the water avoiding direct hits from torpedoes. Decades later, Vic and his family rode comfortably on hydrofoil ferries in Italy, flying over white capped waves in the bay of Naples.
In 2017, The Insetta 45 was chosen to be the official chase boat of the America’s cup! Four 45’ Insetta’s catamarans were shipped to Bermuda to assist at various cup events. Sailboats, competing from several countries, were catamarans with hydrofoils ! The Insetta 45’s ran parallel to these “foiling sail cats” to assist with TV coverage. The sailing cats were traveling at speeds approaching 50 mph, 2 ½ times the wind speed . Efficient … you bet . They could also turn on a dime at over 40 mph…
It became obvious: that a foiling cat would make a great offshore outboard power boat… Many foil power boat designs in the past, had wide foils that stuck out the sides, increasing their beam and draft. It made them difficult to dock, and they couldn’t operate in shallow waters. Joel Shine (chief operating officer) of Insetta Boatworks found a catamaran design that had hydrofoils mounted in the tunnel, (that location between the tunnel walls actually improves their efficiency), and does not add to its draft. Further improvements could be added by using our ultra-light high strength infused composite construction.
Joel, Vic and our technical staff reviewed the foiling cat’s initial specifications and performance data, and then sea trialed two foiling cats with internal hydrofoils. Our staff includes a second physicist and pilot… Glen Dobbs. We are all active boaters and we determined we would build our version of a foiling outboard powered cat. We contacted a Naval architect, who designed several successful foiling power cats . He is now a member of our technical staff.
Our 35 “foiling cat” design has set the standard for Foil-Assisted Sportfishing boats. The hull, foils, materials, and engines are synergistically combined, to provide: unrivaled high-speed cruising efficiency , and provide safe offshore handling, with unimpeded shallow water operation, including beaching, without foils or props contacting the bottom.

Infiniti 60: Concept Yachts presents new 18m foil-assisted catamaran
British yachtbuilders Concept Yachts and Infiniti Yachts have teamed up to introduce a new 18.3-metre multihull model to the market. Named Infiniti 60 Powercat, the yacht has sporty coupé styling and foiling technology that aims to reduce fuel consumption by 35 per cent.
The yacht will be built in Southampton and will be the bigger sister of past Infiniti 36 and Infiniti 52 models, building on the successful existing collaboration between Concept Yachts and Infiniti Yachts.
The yacht is designed for use as either a superyacht tender, a fishing vessel or as a compact liveaboard, with plenty of scope for customisation and the option to include two, three or four cabins. There are two main formats available; the standard is the Coupé, while there is also a Grand Tourer Flybridge version.
Design Unlimited has been brought in to style the yacht, and working together with Infiniti Yachts and Concept Yachts, has given the yacht a relatively modest beam of six metres which allows the yacht to berth in conventional slips. The catamaran is also "beachable", meaning it can transition from sea to land with ease.
Efficiency has been a top priority in the yacht's design, and the yacht has been built in resin-infused carbon fibre with multiple propulsion options available, including petrol, diesel and electric.
The retractable DSS foil comes as standard, and Gordon Kay, founder of Infiniti Yachts, was integral to developing the DSS that is fitted on the Baltic 142 foiling yacht Canova .
Between them, Concept Yachts and Infiniti Yachts have over two decades of experience in the superyacht sector.
Denison Yachting will also be working alongside Concept Yachts as its sales and marketing partner.

Baltic 142: The superyacht bringing foiling technology into cruising
- Toby Hodges
- May 2, 2019
Foil-assisted cruising is the latest innovation to emerge from Baltic Yachts. We talk to the team behind the Baltic 142 to find out how it works
The Baltic 142 may not be using the hydrofoils popularised by the America’s Cup , but her 29ft 6in long (9m) horizontal sliding foil employs the same principle of lift to reduce heel and boost speed.
The designers of the Dynamic Stability System (DSS) say it could improve the performance of this super-cruiser by 20 per cent, delivering a sustained 25 knots – not bad for a superyacht with a predicted lightship displacement of 140 tonnes.
This is the first time the DSS has been used in superyachting, but its benefits will be used for comfortable, fast long-distance cruising rather than gaining an edge on the racecourse. All eyes will be on the Baltic 142 when she launches later this year and sets off on her first ocean passage. If the DSS does what is predicted, it could become commonplace.

Proven technology
The idea, developed by British naval architect Hugh Welbourn and Gordon Kay of Infiniti Yachts, has certainly proved itself on a smaller scale, reducing heel, increasing speed, damping pitching and adding an unexpected degree of steering control in lively conditions.
Gordon Kay, who was at the helm of the Infiniti 46 with its DSS deployed in almost 40 knots of breeze in the 2017 Rolex Middle Sea Race , said: “The boat sat at 28 knots, arrow straight, to the point when I wondered if there was any need for me to drive.”
But can these advantages transfer to a 140-tonner for which speeds in the mid-teens, let alone the 20s, would be considered exceptional? The brains trust behind the project believes they can. These include Baltic Yachts’ head of research and development Roland Kasslin, Farr Yacht Design president Patrick Shaughnessy, BAR Technologies chief technology officer Simon Schofield, Gurit engineering’s Simon Everest, plus Welbourn and Kay. Baltic Yachts’ ability to take on complex engineering challenges and meet them with the latest in lightweight advanced composite building techniques, is well documented.
1-tonne foil
As can be seen in the diagram above, the carbon foil, weighing 1 tonne, will sit in a casing built into the bilge of the Baltic 142 just below the waterline and slightly aft of amidships. As it happens it runs directly beneath the owner’s double berth.
When not deployed the tips of the foil will be just visible, but when in use it will protrude a massive 22ft (6.5m) to leeward. It is designed to be deployed at speed at which point some 40 tonnes of lift can be generated pushing the Baltic 142 upright with a corresponding increase in speed.
Speeds of 25 knots
Gordon Kay says that a conventionally designed yacht beam reaching in 25 knots of wind would heel to just over 20 degrees, but with the foil working heel would be restricted to just 9 degrees and there’s a consequential increase in boat speed. In 25 knots of wind the Baltic 142 could reach sustained speeds of 25 knots depending on sea conditions.
In addition, any pitching motion can be reduced. So apart from speed, the increase in comfort levels is equally appealing. Because the foil is able to generate a large proportion of the Baltic 142’s righting moment, displacement and hull volume can be reduced, although this has presented it own problems.

Baltic 67 review: Finnish superyacht yard goes back to its roots with no-compromise cruiser
Were money no object and you wanted the ultimate yacht for long-term cruising, what would you choose? How large could…
Why this Baltic 115 launch, the latest in a growing fleet of cruiser-racers, is one to watch
This is the second project of very similar length to launch by this exact same team (Judel Vrolijk, Nauta Yachts…
It limits the amount of space in the bilge to install the foil and provide enough separation between the upper and lower bearings, which enable it to ‘slide’ under load when the Baltic 142 is at speed.
Simon Everest from Gurit said: “We collaborated with Baltic Yachts to make small adjustments to the accommodation and with Farr Yacht Design to alter the hull shape creating a subtle blister around the foil exit.” The blisters provided the width or beam they were looking for.
The foil is controlled using a system of pulleys the lines for which run to a powerful electric captive winch positioned at deck level. To prevent water ingress from the casing, which is permanently flooded, the control lines are led through composite pipes to a point above the waterline.
The actuator or control lines travel to the outer extremities of the foil to a turning block so another challenge was to design a protective channel or groove on the underside of the foil to carry the line. A self-activating lock to prevent the board sliding straight through the casing in the event of the actuator line failing also had to be developed.
America’s Cup research
There are four sets of bearing cassettes, the outboard, upper pair taking the upward loads when the board is deployed and the inner, lower pair dealing with the downward load at the inner end of the board.
A lot of the bearing technology has been provided by the team at Ben Ainslie’s BAR Technologies whose research into friction is literally microscopic in its methodology and benefits from more than two-and-a-half years’ work on America’s Cup boats. What BAR found during that research was that reducing friction to an absolute minimum was paramount.
That might sound obvious, but when the microscopic behaviour of materials such as carbon fibre was studied it was found wanting in certain parts of the design. For instance, the trailing edge of the foil becomes so heavily loaded against the casing aperture when the yacht is sailing at speed, the surface of the carbon fibre foil distorts.
“It’s as if it’s pushing against a little hill of material created temporarily by the loading – in other words it’s constantly ‘going up hill’,” explained Simon Schofield at BAR Technologies. So to reduce the size of ‘the little hill’ and in turn reduce friction, the trailing edge is finished with a much harder material, in this case titanium.
Each case of bearings contains four cassettes made up of 25 Torlon rollers. They are contained in titanium housings that can be adjusted (with the yacht at a standstill) to alter the angle they meet the foil surface. We got some idea of their size when we were told each bearing set on the Baltic 142 weighs 30kg.
The foil itself is being built by French specialist fabricators ISOTOP and comprises a number of carbon fibre spars running the length of the foil that are wrapped and held together with carbon cloth. The foil is designed to deflect through 800mm at each tip and the leading edge is finished with a foam ‘nose’ designed to crush in a collision.
Technoculture
The all-carbon composite Baltic 142 is intended for fast, comfortable global cruising, but her owner hasn’t stopped at foil technology in his quest for innovation. This yacht will be fitted with diesel-electric propulsion and generating system, which burns less fossil fuel, is less space hungry and quieter than a conventional drive train.
Weight is being saved by specifying a 700-volt electrical system that uses lighter cabling and allows equipment normally run on heavy and space hungry hydraulics to be powered by the main battery bank.
The machinery room, housing the remarkably compact 400kW propulsion motor, two 210 kW generators, four banks of Alkasol lithium-ion batteries, watermakers and other ancillary equipment, has been assembled outside the yacht in Baltic Yachts’ Jakobstad facility and was craned into position as a complete module.
There has also been a major effort to improve serviceability so that long periods of independent cruising can be undertaken and maintenance carried out without having to seek out a specialist yachting facility.
With styling and interior design by Lucio Micheletti as well as the in-house team, the Baltic 142 sports a sleek, low deck saloon with a hard, fixed bimini extending over the forward cockpit area. Below, her vast deck saloon, providing panoramic views, forms the focal point of her luxury accommodation.
Unusually, the owner’s suite is located almost amidships, where motion is at its least, with further accommodation for six guests in three cabins. Other features include a Rondal rig with electric in-boom furling, a lifting keel and a propeller leg rotating through 180 degrees.

Improved Efficiency with Hydro Glide Foil System™
The Aquila Hydro Glide Foil System™, designed by catamaran and foil specialists Morrelli & Melvin Design & Engineering, is available as an option on the extremely popular Aquila 36 Sport as well as the Aquila 42 Yacht . It enhances the performance, consumption, and handling of the already spectacular performance of these two power catamarans. For the Aquila 36 Sport, the hydro-glide foil improves miles per gallon by 40% when compared to a competitor's 36' power catamaran and decreases the fuel consumption rate by 37%.
As reviewed by Boating Magazine: “It’s hard to believe that a piece of metal with no moving parts can be the approximate equivalent of adding 200 horsepower, 100 gallons of fuel, and 100 miles of extra range.” But, that’s what happens when the Aquila Hydro Glide Foil System is attached between the two hulls.

Hysucat technology: planing is fun but foiling is electric
Getting boats to fly above the water surface is simple in theory, but tricky in practice and has challenged designers for over a century. Starting from 1980s some huge advances was made in this direction. Not just for fun or sports, but to gain some day to day functional advantages and enhanced efficiency. The new foiling technology once invented for military usage in 1980 found its way in service boating and RIB tenders used for varied purposes. Since the creation of RIB boats in early 1970s development concentrated on enhancing power capability and materials used. Hard hull slamming, instability and increasing fuel consumption were considered as unbeatable side-effects for long time. Until in the beginning of 1980s when two men in the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa enhanced RIB technology with catamaran hulls and foils. This may sound easy but in reality combining these elements demanded years of try-and-test with dozens pages’ data analysis and engineering searches. Why so serious?
Foiling refers to the use of hydrofoils attached to the hull of fast boats, which provides additional lift at planing speeds – often enough to lift the hull completely clear of the water. Foils work in a similar way to aircraft wings. In simple terms, as they move through the water they deflect the flow, which exerts a force on the foil. If that force is upward, the faster they move, the greater the lift. Foiling may seem like a recent technological phenomenon but it has actually been 100 years in the making. The first development of a foiling water vessel was a 60hp motorboat designed and built by Italian inventor Enrico Forlanini in 1906, obtaining patents in both the UK and the USA. He had a prototype operating on Lake Maggiore soon after. British boat designer John Thornycroft followed up with a series of scale models featuring stepped hulls and a single foil, and by 1909 had a full-scale 22ft prototype running. Later, in 1919, Alexander Graham Bell broke the world marine speed record with his Hydrodrome 4. During WWII, the German military developed a 17-tonne foiling mine layer that was tested in the Baltic at speeds of up to 47 knots. By the early 1950s, the first commercial hydrofoil ferry was running between Italy and Switzerland and a decade later, a private hydrofoil yacht featured in the Bond movie Thunderball.
It wasn’t until the 1960’s and 1970’s that foiling technology was introduced to the military and used commercially with the launch of the Boeing Jetfoil, first serving the Hawaiian Islands and later Hong Kong and Macau. Traditionally, high-speed hydrofoils used large V-shaped foils that jutted out beyond the boat’s beam. This made berthing tricky and increased the draught. They were also costly to construct, vulnerable to damage and difficult to power, as the propellers of conventional shaftdrives would be clear of the water once foiling. Lastly, although hydrofoils were often more efficient than conventional hulls, high-speed cats could usually match the efficiency without the drawbacks. The problem was decreasing stability of catamarans at high speed. These facts served as starting point for further research for speed boat racer Malan Conradie and Professor Gunter Hoppe, a world authority on hydrofoil technology and head of Marine Dynamics at the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa. The idea of development fast, stable and efficient foil-assisted catamaran hull without side-effects fascinated the duo and studies begun.
For 15 years, Conradie had worked with Professor Hoppe. Conradie did the technical design, interior and exterior design work, and Professor Hoppe designed the hydrofoils. All designs were tested the test tank facility at the university and sea trials were carried out to evaluate the hydrofoil concept. At later stage Conradie took the beta-version hull to the offshore powerboat events where it proved its superior design by outperforming the competition.
This collaboration resulted in the birth of the original Hysucat – “Hydrofoil Supported Catamaran ” – which led to a new breed of hull designs that became popular in South Africa and later worldwide. The resulting company took the name of the new concept as its own – Hysucat. There should be noted, that as original patents had expired now large number of hydrofoil-supported cat-hulled vessels (from 6m to 50m in LOA) are using the Hysucat technology without using the original brand. So what exactly is so special about Hysucat? First it is the hull or, to be more specific – hulls consisting of an asymmetrical, planing catamaran hull and special hydrofoil system. The main hydrofoil fitted between the catamaran hulls acts like any classic foil operating in a fluid medium – the top surface generates a low pressure area, the lower surface a high pressure area and the mass of water flowing past the foil is deflected downwards. The resultant is lift generated far more efficiently than the hull planing surfaces – typically the Lift/Drag ratio of a planning hull is 4:1 while that of the hydrofoil is 20:1. The main foil a stainless steel wing in the shape of a chevron, positioned slightly ahead of the boat’s center of gravity that spans the tunnel created by the catamaran hulls. It is parallel with – but not protruding below – the bottom of the hulls, meaning that the wing is always in the water and that there may be some protection for it in case of accidental grounding. There is no doubt that air trapped and compressed in the tunnel at higher speeds will also add to the lift potential before passing through the end of the tunnels at the transom.
Smaller trim hydrofoils are also fitted on the inside of the catamaran tunnel near the transom. These smaller foils play an important role in the automatic longitudinal trim stabilization of the hull in that as they approach the water surface in the catamaran tunnel, the bow trims down, their lift decreases (due to free-surface effects) and then, due to lift reduction, the transom trims back down again. In general, the hydrofoils are protectively fitted between the catamaran hulls as they are fitted to the hull keels as deep as possible so as to keep them fully submerged but no lower than the keels – as they do not protrude below the hull nor are they wider than the tunnel beam, there are no operational or aesthetic constraints as a result of fitting Hysucat hydrofoils. Generally speaking the Hysucat design offers the best features of a monohull and a catamaran combined. While starting to accelerate the foil-assisted boat overcomes its own bow wake easily without engine overpowered effort needed for monohull or average catamaran. This is really important in choppy waters when “normal” cats tend to bury in waves.
The advantages of this unique, hybrid system is that it further amplifies many of the existing benefits of the catamaran hull-form. These are
• Due to catamaran-shaped hulls Hysucat designed boats have reduced running resistance. Therefore, high speeds can be reached much easier with lower-powered engines with up to 70% less fuel consumption. This gives two-folded advantage in terms of cheaper engine set-ups and smaller fuel expenses.
• Consuming less fuel for propulsion, the Hysucat design dramatically broadens the cruising range of the boat. Hysucat can go much further for less time and money.
• Improved ride quality in rough seas due to the motion damping effect of the hydrofoils.
• Easy, monohull-like control. The foils do not impair handling nor create directional-instability or broaching problems. Although sensitive to handle, Hysucat do not need special handling techniques.
• Hysucat foil-assisted boats can reach up to 50-60 mph speeds with 30-35 mph as average cruising. Again such figures are reached with less resources both engine and fuel-wise.
Furthermore, some of the advantages are felt only while riding the Hysucat boat. First effect is low spray noiseless dry ride of the foil-assisted boat. Due to lifting effect and low resistance, there is less slamming and in turn less spray from the bottom of the boat. So there’s no need to overdress the guests and personnel with protective (and expensive) water-proof outfit.
Essential point of difference is load bearing capacity. The forces that are created by foils are working almost regardless of weight. The payload of the Hysucat foil-assisted boat is twice bigger than the average boat. Hysucat is less sensitive to the load distribution as well. Figures prove that 8m Hysucat can easily blast with up to 12 guests onboard.
Again, with less slamming and as a result – less shaking of the vessel come such important feature as no-fatigue effect. This is essential for a pleasant ride for those not familiar with sea or fatigue-vulnerable by nature.
Last but not least, the catamaran-shaped hull provides wider beam and greater storage – precious commodity for the RIBs.
With this some suggestions must be acknowledged. First issue that is always raised is foils prone to impacts. Reported tests and real issues show that normal production foils can survive some object-hitting but not hard grounding on rocky bottom. Serial producers propose break-away setups that help to protect the hulls in case of really severe impacts.
The other point is the complex construction process with extremely tight allowances for foils production. This means thoughtful selection of the producers that deliver the boat able to show the foil-technology in full effect.

Foil-assisted guide boat.
By Dieter Loibner , Aug 7, 2020
This 31′ foil-assisted aluminum catamaran was designed by Jutson Marine Design and built by ACI Boats of Port Townsend, Washington. Aside from good seakeeping, the boat also can access shallow-water landing spots, allowing passengers to step ashore via a fold-down ramp.
Designer Scott Jutson checked in with us from New Zealand as he was waiting to board one of the last flights back to Vancouver, Canada, to ride out the coronavirus pandemic. He reported that sea trials just finished for a new design built by ACI in Port Townsend, Washington: a 31 ‘ foil-assisted aluminum catamaran with an asymmetrical hull shape for the Alaska guide market.
“The hullform represents a new development for us and the builder, and it really works,” Jutson said. “The client’s brief was for remote operations by an Alaskan guide for fishing and hunting. Distances traveled (in a relatively small boat) require excellent seakeeping, speed, and fuel economy. Longest run requires a steady 35-knot cruise. The boat is powered by two Suzuki 350 DPs with 22.5 “ [57.15cm] props and has a fuel capacity of 300 gal [1,136 l] in two tanks. Performance at full load [7,500 lbs/7.9 t] sees a top speed of 44 knots and an optimal cruise of 35.8 knots at 4,650 rpm with a range of 1.39 nm/gal.”
Jutson, whom we portrayed in 2014 , also emphasized the design of a new hullform that features an extended waterline to a plumb stem and a semi-symmetric bow shape for rough water stability. The foils go across the tunnel’s full beam without center struts and are designed to be load and trim tolerant so the performance delta between light and full load is relatively small. Construction is welded aluminum plate using 5086 grade for high-load areas (bottom and frames) for maximum strength and minimal weight.
Modified asymmetrical hulls and foil assist help the vessel perform in rough conditions, averaging 1.5 nm per gallon at 30 knots during tests with 2x 350-hp Suzuki DP outboards.
“We are very familiar with this size catamaran,” said builder Cory Armstrong. “In fact, the 30 by 11 [footer] is our most popular model.” ACI’s symmetrical planing cats achieve about 1 nm/gal over 30 knots, Armstrong added. For the new Jutson design with the Hysucat foil configuration (for more on this type, see Gunther Migeotte’s “Hydrofoil-Supported Catamarans,” PBB No. 157 , page 68) the target was a 25% improvement in fuel economy and a 50% or more reduction of vertical accelerations. Armstrong said, “We ran several trials from light to fully loaded conditions, and in all cases we achieved better than 1.3 nm/gal up to 35 knots, and at 30 knots of cruising speed the boat was in the range of 1.5 nm/gal. Most notable was the seakeeping, particularly in mixed chop [when] we ran 30 knots in some pretty nasty stuff. I was extremely pleased with the added benefit of foils in conjunction with the modified asymmetrical hull in her ability to handle rough seas while maintaining excellent fuel economy.”
