Dear All,

Is anyone aware of any seaplanes or amphibiamns that use hydeofoils to get them off the surface of the water? Reasons for using them or not using them would be most interesting. I am surprised that none of the designs I've seen so far use hydrofoils, whilst in the meantime Longshot, the comparatively small world speed record holder for a sail powered boat is a trifoiler.

Regards, Max.
