Sailing and sports[edit]

The French experimental sail powered hydrofoil Hydroptre is the result of a research
project that involves advanced engineering sills and technologies! "n Septem#er $%%&'
the Hydroptre set new sailcraft world speed records in the (%% m category' with a speed
of ()!*+ nots ,&(!)$ m-h. and in the one nautical mile ,)!& m. category with a speed
of (%!)/ nots ,&$!&) m-h.![)*] [)0]
1nother trimaran sail#oat is the 2indrider 3ave![)(] The 3ave is a commercially
availa#le )/4foot ,(!$ m.' two person' hydrofoil trimaran' capa#le of reaching speeds of
0% n ,/0 m-h.! The #oat was designed #y 5im 6rown!
The 7oth dinghy has evolved into some radical foil configurations![citation needed]
Ho#ie Sail#oats once produced a production foiling trimaran! "t was and is the fastest
production sail#oat in history! "t is called the Ho#ie Trifoiler! Trifoilers have cloced
speeds upward of thirty nots!
1 new aya design' called Flya' has hydrofoils that lift the aya enough to
significantly reduce drag' allowing speeds of up to $/ m-h ,)/ mph.! Some surfers
have developed surf#oards with hydrofoils called foil#oards' specifically aimed at
surfing #ig waves further out to sea![)+]
