Earlier today two teams from the University of NSW presented results of an inquiry into theoretical hydrofoil stability and performance.
The teams undertook to assess three candidate foil types on an A Class catamaran and investigate relative characteristics of lift, drag and change in lift with ride height/leeway.
A more detailed report is being prepared, but initial indications are in line with experimental observation.
Thanks to Dr Qing N. (Shaun) Chan for structuring the project.
