foiling catamarans

Foiling catamarans are high-performance boats with two parallel hulls that lift out of the water using underwater wings called foils. As the boat gains speed, the foils generate lift, raising the hulls above the water surface. This reduces drag, allowing the boat to sail faster and more efficiently. The foils are angled and controlled to maintain stability and optimize lift, enabling the catamaran to "fly" above the water, minimizing resistance, and enhancing maneuverability. This advanced design results in increased speed and a smoother ride compared to traditional floating hulls.
