New Configuration for Catamaran Foils

Excerpt from Designer: (Read whole story here: www.catsailingnews.com )

Carl-Johan Soder:

"I have developed a conceptual F18 ”hybrid” that would be great if you would like to post - perhaps someone may get interested in building it..
Main feature is the self stabilizing foil configuration that fit into straight cases. In contradiction to e.g. the A.C. configuration these foils moves the centre of lift outwards which increases the righting lever and thus the power. In addition, the efficiency of producing vertical lift with this configuration is higher.


e-mail I sent to Carl Johan today:
I know that the TNZ foils work with leeway coupling with backup surface breaching of the foil tip. I’m curious how your foil works-does it use leeway coupling in some new way? Please respond on the forum if possible or just e-mail me.

My biggest question about the new configuration is: won't the fact that it has high and low pressure on the same side cause a lot of drag?
