Hydrofoil-based apparatus

An apparatus comprising:

• a strut;
• a fuselage connected to said strut;
• an opposite foil portion connected to a first end of said fuselage wherein the opposite foil portion includes two wings extending outwardly from the first end of said fuselage;
• and
• a main lifting foil portion connected to a second end of said fuselage wherein the main lifting foil portion includes two wings extending outwardly from the second end of said fuselage and wherein the main lifting foil portion has a maximum thickness located at first distance from an edge of the main lifting foil portion, the maximum thickness of the main lifting foil portion is between 14% and 17% of a chord length of the main lifting foil.

A watercraft comprising:

• a board having a tail end;
• a strut;
• a fuselage connected to said strut;
• an opposite foil portion connected to a first end of said fuselage wherein the opposite foil portion includes two wings extending outwardly from the first end of said fuselage;
• and
• a main lifting foil portion connected to a second end of said fuselage wherein the main lifting foil portion includes two wings extending outwardly from the second end of said fuselage and wherein the main lifting foil portion has a maximum thickness located at first distance from an edge of the main lifting foil portion, the maximum thickness of the main lifting foil portion is between 14% and 17% of a chord length of the main lifting foil.

An apparatus comprising:

• a strut having a maximum thickness located midway along a chord length of the strut ranging at an area of 45 to 55 percent of the chord length;
• a fuselage connected to said strut;
• an opposite foil portion connected to a first end of said fuselage wherein the opposite foil portion includes two wings extending outwardly from the first end of said fuselage;
• and
• a main lifting foil portion connected to a second end of said fuselage wherein the main lifting foil portion includes two wings extending outwardly from the second end of said fuselage and wherein the main lifting foil portion has a maximum thickness located at first distance from an edge of the main lifting foil portion.

An apparatus comprising:

• a strut;
• a fuselage connected to said strut;
• an opposite foil portion connected to a first end of said fuselage wherein the opposite foil portion includes two wings extending outwardly from the first end of said fuselage;
• and
