10 Fantastic Foiling Boats
2021.01.31
Images and video footage of foiling boats in action always carries a special WOW factor. See the boats in person, or even better try sailing one, and the experience is quite simply amazing.
At its most basic you might describe a hydrofoil as a wing that enables a boat to 'fly' above the water - the foils below the hull work much like an airplane wing does in the air, lifting the boat's hull up above the water when traveling fast, so reducing drag and increasing speed. We tend to think of them as cutting edge - and the resulting flying boat is pretty spectacular, but they have been around since the late 1880s!
