Hydro-Foil Assisted Catamarans have proven to to increase efficiency by up to 40% over a none foiled multihulls. The concept is basic... increase lift with little drag by lifting the boat onto a plane at a lower speed. This makes a planing hulled cruising catamaran the newest concept in Multihull boats. The gains from planing hulled multihulls are less pitching, increased stability, reduced wetted surface, less sail area, smaller engines, reduced fuel consumption, faster cruise and top end speeds.
