Check this out...good video of planning and constructing one of the filming cats, mixed in with a couple of good shots of the racing cats themselves:

Thanks Brian for posting this. I love those boats. The design showed the most innovative foil assist for powerboats that I've seen since the hysucats: each hull was shown with two curved lifting foils-one forward and one aft-what a great idea!
