Looking at the rig, I'm asking myself if the boat might be a little more stable if the mast foot was a little further aft, or perhaps the mast more raked - in the style of the original Bieker Int 14 imports of about 10yrs ago?

Thus more lift from the kite = more stable ride.  That added to the t-foil, would probably stabilise the whole thing pretty well downwind.

As with most designs of this kind, one imagines that the problem isn't generating the power, it appears to be controlling it when it gets hairy.

Jib luff looks a wee bit saggy too. A tad more rake and a bit more rig tension maybe.
