Tomahawk

My guess is that its so that you only fly a certain height above the water, keeping in with the theme of the Tomahawk skimming the surface?

dont even think that, imagine Grumpf and Doug

Originally posted by getafix Bow profile looks interesting, but it could just be the angle of this photo and the fact the chine runs full length......is that a "vane" on the back of the "dagger"?

Well we only have to wait 2 days to find out ... I guess this is another reason to attend the show, and the Ovi stand.

A first what?

The blurb on the news page says

Originally posted by blurb At this year’s RYA Volvo Dinghy Show, Ovington Boats will show a concept dinghy nicknamed the ‘Tomahawk’ which uses the foil system by Tomahawk Foils. The boat incorporates the surface running, ventilated hydrofoil invented and patented by Tomahawk Foils.

They describe it a s a ventilated hydrofoil so I think that there will be tubes running from the leading edge of the CB to the top surface of the foil, when the boat goes up and the top of the tube comes out of the water air is sucked down to the top of the lifting foil destroying lift over that section.
If you have a number of tubes at slightly different heights you get control over the ride height.

Of course it could be something completely different.
