Hydrofoil Assisted Catamarans are the most fuel efficient and softest riding high speed boats in the world. Our hulls do not slam at high speeds.
They are up to 50% more fuel efficient and can carry 250% of the loads that most conventional boats can carry without performance handicaps. HYDROFOIL ASSISTED WATER CRAFT - HAWC
Less fuel (40% saving),
higher speed (20% more),
Lower Power (up to 1/3 less),
Smooth Ride (No Slamming),
Safe and stable (Full lock turns at high speed);
Long Range (Up to 40% more)
We reduce fuel use on high spe

Arguably the most strongest most practical foiling system today for motorized boats.
I know, because all of HAWC Boats are built using this foil system. It is proven, reliable and will not break! We've tried !!
First HAWC 11M in Kodiak AK - still going strong after 20 years !!
HAWC 11 Grok Animation !! Amazing.

Blast from the past 1970's Racking Hydroplane 9ft long with single 25hp engine with water skiers in background part of HK Water Ski Show in Repulse Bay. Circa 1973.
This is a game changer for Lightning prevention.
An absolute disrupter for current lightning protection. A device that prevents - and does not encourage lightning to strike like lightning rods do.

Built in 2013 after winning a tender to supply HK Marine GEO parks a patrol contract - 12 months on 12 months. Worked fantastically. Learned what equipment NOT to use.
Twin 400hp engines with DOEN waterjets - Inverter to drive aircon and battery pack to meet all electrical demands - 1800hrs per annum use !! Designed and built by HAWC Technologies.
Pity about the engines !! Foiling Catamaran achieved 35 kts top speed and surfed ocean waves home at 20kts !! Wonderful boat.

Professor KG Hoppe's discussion on the development of HYSUCRAFT Foil systems he founded since 1982 as head of the department of Mechanical Engineering at Stellenbosch University. He is Professor Emeritus there and continues to develop this technology and consult on all matters relating to his invention. I continue to support and work with Prof. Hoppe on ongoing projects and ideas.

Another great Hydrofoil presentation. But has a few errors and misunderstandings.
Hydrofoil Control: How to Stay on Foil Why would an airplane company design a ship? When considering hydrofoil ships, aircraft share many of the same requirements. More specifically, every hydrofo...
