Foil Assisted Vessels
Art Anderson Associates has designed several vessels using hydrofoil technology. The main benefits of hydrofoil technology are:
- Reduced resistance (by up to 40%)
- Reduced fuel consumption (by up to 30%)
- Increased range (up to 30%)
- Reduced wake wash
- Improved maneuverability
Foils can be retrofitted to existing catamaran hulls to improve performance. We offer HYSUCAT and HYSUWAC hydrofoil-assisted catamaran designs for high-speed craft and fast ferry applications.
