coool. I think that little gizmo they are fiddling with on the bow is a sensor that rides on the surface and automatically adjusts the foil's lift. I believe it was Greg Kettering that invented the Trifoiler (later sold to Hobie) that first had a foil system like that. He used tandem Multi-sails (ws sails) for power.

Check out the 18ft skiffs with foils... insanely overpowered.

Wow! That looks like fun! When are you going to put foils on your boards Chuck?
