Hydroptere: New foiler design

On Wednesday during a press conference organized in Lausanne, on the campus of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), which is the scientific adviser of the project, Alain Thébault and a part of his team unveiled the drawings of l’Hydroptère.ch.

This new lab boat, whose building has already started in Brittany, will be a trial platform on a reduced scale for the future Hydroptère maxi.

Major design analysis is that they are going from a Tri platform to a cat one.
With two main hulls supporting the foils and two hydrofoil style rudders.
Stability should be main issue here, and now the designers are seeking for a more stable platform with 4 working foils instead of 3 as the current Hydroptere has.
Interesting point is the central commanding pod, current boat has skipper seats on each amas arm.
Although 1st scaled prototype will have SYZ foiler style deck conf.
