Since you brought it up....here is the URL for the foiling Hobie 18, foiling Hobie 16 and my woodie, an old A-class cat. . A tilted surface piercing foil works best in my rigs when it runs about 35 degrees to the water: more vertical and there is less lift. These rigs are great fun; by the way, weight and drag are the sailing hydrofoiler's biggest enemies.
