Special Advantages:

1. The long centre hull can penetrate oncoming waves almost like a "wavepiercer" or a "SWATH" and determines the trim angle for maximum comfort of passengers and lowest stress on the structure. The bow foils can be adjusted automatically by computers without assistance from the pilot if a forward-facing sensor is used.

2. The high tunnels are further aft than in the case of catamarans and are therefore much less likely to experience tunnel-slamming as the bow foils correct trim and aerate water before entering the tunnels. The effective tunnel height of 3m allows full speed maneuvering into waves of up to 3,5m at any angle.

3. Foils are light and provide even better performance than on a catamaran of similar proportions.
