2. Human-powered hydrofoil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human-powered_hydrofoil

   Hydrofoils are the fastest water-based vehicles propelled solely by human power. They can reach speeds of up to 34 km/h (21 mph; 18 kn), [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] easily exceeding the world records set by competitive rowing which stand at about 20 km/h (12 mph; 11 kn).

3. Hydrofoil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrofoil

   A hydrofoil is a lifting surface, or foil, that operates in water. They are similar in appearance and purpose to aerofoils used by aeroplanes. Boats that use hydrofoil technology are also simply termed hydrofoils. As a hydrofoil craft gains speed, the hydrofoils lift the boat's hull out of the water, decreasing drag and allowing greater speeds.

4. Flyak - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyak

   The Flyak is a hydrofoil adaptation to the conventional kayak. It uses twin hydrofoils designed to raise the hull out of the water to increase the speed. Speeds of up to 27.2 km/h (7.6 m·s −1, 16.9 mph) can be achieved on calm water. [1]

   The collected power is then transferred to the water with a paddle wheel, flippers, [8] [9] [10] or to the air or water with a propeller. Pedaled craft include: Amphibious cycle; Hydrocycle; Pedal-powered kayak [8] [9] [10] Pedal-powered submersible or midget submarine [11] [12] Pedal-powered hydrofoil; Pedalo

6. Sailing hydrofoil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailing_hydrofoil

   A sailing hydrofoil, hydrofoil sailboat, or hydrosail is a sailboat with wing-like foils mounted under the hull. As the craft increases its speed the hydrofoils lift the hull up and out of the water, greatly reducing wetted area, resulting in decreased drag and increased speed. A sailing hydrofoil can achieve speeds exceeding double and in some ...

   Speeding through Stockholm’s archipelago, electric boat maker Candela’s new P-12 vessel barely makes a sound as it glides over a meter (3 feet) above the water.

8. HD-4 - Wikipedia

   Bell and associate Frederick W. "Casey" Baldwin began hydrofoil experimentation in the summer of 1908, as a possible aid to airplane takeoff from water. On September 9, 1919, on the Bras d'Or Lakes , at Baddeck, HD-4 set a world marine speed record of 70.86 miles per hour (114.04 km/h), that stood for almost a year until being beaten by Gar ...
