No. Just no.

Youd need a foilbase considerably larger than you could reasonably acheive on a '6 to have any control whatsoever

Skiffs dont need foils to fly, just a bit of wind and some waves and your getting airtime all the way home

Why not just get a vortex?

or a classic Swift cat - a cut down shearwater with a solid deck, and hulls that appear to be closer together than the beam of the hulls.

My comments earlier about your idea is why small cats don't work very well - light F16 cats are OK, but anything shorter or heavier has never been very successful.

Was that a rhetorical question or do you really want an answer?
