it uses hydrofoils they create lift when going fast through water and lift the boat up out of the water then reduce wetted surface area and a increase in speed!!!

yup. good explanation hurri. leave all the complicated quantum physics multiplied by the bilateral chocolate frog.... the only thing i would add is it uses they same principle as an aeroplane wing to create lift. ie a curved surface makes the water go faster over one side or sumtin therefore creating lift and loads of potted petunias. |

same as a moth hydrofoil system, the rudder foil controls the boats angle of pitch and governs the lift

during the europeans.
