Using hydrofoil for race kayak stability

If this idea doesn't give sufficient roll stability, a small flap could be added to the strut, near the bottom.
Connected to the levelling servo arm for additional roll correction / control.
This arrangement would act as a canard, like in the WaveBike ( YouTube ).

 

BlueBell, I've looked for a "canard" in the video and couldn't find it. What time in the video is it shown?

 

It's shown throughout but you can't see it, it's in the water silly!

 

Ah, I see-an invisible canard...makes sense-I just don't see how? Oh, well...

 

Well, what do think is holding the riders up?

 

Well,if it wasn't the invisible canard then it was probably buoyancy.....
The whole truth and nothin but the truth, more or less:

 

or Photoshop

The riders don't respond to bounces and the craft doesn't respond to the riders steering.

 

The handle bars go directly to the canard.
It has the same balancing affect as riding a bike.
I spoke with the builder some time ago.
As you can see, it worked well.
Photoshop? Did you see how old the video is?

 

There's a pragmatic side of roll damping in kayaks. Roll damping slows a capsize. A slower capsize allows the paddler more time to get his blade in the water and brace to prevent a swim. Even a boat that is technically unstable can be kept upright if the roll is damped enough to give the paddler sufficient time to react.

 

Attached is picture of a foil I have been developing for single sculls.
It is mounted under one of the riggers, can pivot 360 so it won’t steer the boat.
Trailing wand adjusts AOA as needed to provide up or down force as needed.
Having foil on one side only allows for normal handling/ docking of shell.drid
At 3m/second it provides a bit more than 1 kg force.
Probably pretty close to what Rallyhybrid envisions.
I’m seeking IP protection and partners to commercialize it.
