Hey Sandworm. Candela here.

Sure, it's perfectly doable to put hydrofoils on any type of hull, especially passive hydrofoils. We tried, and it wasn't especially nice, nor efficient.

The trick is to use fully submerged ones. But those are much harder to keep stable, as they are inherently unstable. That's were our secret sauce is. We can control them through software similar to what you see in drones. Also, we've created the mechanical and structural components necessary for wave handling.

You won't find this type of innovation, especially the software, in any other boat in production. That's the new stuff.

how bout a gas version for us poor folk? Given the increased efficiency, it wouldn't need a big motor?

or would the software installed in one of the many sailboat designs using foils prevent their high accident rate?>

So your 8m boat's sea handling abilities are dependant on software? That's a big leap.
