Just after I posted the multihull link I remembered intending to show you a hydrofoil sailboat prototype incorporating one of the same principles as Radboat, namely something similar to what I call aeroballast. I ran across this link about Hanno Smits on Monday of this week. Oddly enough in all the research I performed leading up to my patent application, I never was able to retrieve any information about him and his work. But better late than never, as I now greatly admire his work. The “Hydrofoil ideas” link on the left sidebar will take you to the pictures below. I’m in the process of writing him an email to discuss our very similar ideas.

Not any real news to report, so why not share a great link from Yachtpals that does a great job compiling information about some of the coolest and most advanced multihulls, some of which are described on my Exotic Sailboats page. It even has a great video. Here you go. http://yachtpals.com/monster-multihulls-9004.
