Since the beginning, the aim has been to beat the speed sailing world record. To go that quick, it's necessary to keep the boat out of the water. But from a "finesse" point of view, the use of aircraft wings is better than foils. So, to summarise, The Flying Duck uses hydrofoils for mid-speed cruise and airfoils for high speed runs.<BR> Furthermore, the Flying Duck uses a pyramidal double sail in order to decrease the rolling momentum. It is therefore possible to increase the propulsion power. </P> </BODY> </HTML>
