Hydrofoil: a craft more or less similar to the hovercraft insofar as it flies over water and thus eliminates friction between the water and the hull.
Hydrofoil
Ski like protrusion that holds the front of a vesel out of the water when at speed. Aids economy, reduces drag.

hydrofoil - A vessel that transverses over the water using underwater foils.
hydrography - The science associated with the surveying the earth's waters.
hydrofoil
A skilike device under a hull. When the boat is going fast enough, the hull lifts out of the water and rides on its hydrofoils at high speeds. Used mainly on powerboats.

THE WORST THING about the ferry that runs between Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Montevideo, Uruguay, is that it's a hydrofoil.
on the water are vessels, including displacement craft (those that "float" or are supported by the static buoyancy derived fro the water that their hulls displace), non-displacement craft (those that are supported by the dynamic lift of hydrofoils or ...
HULL - The main structural body of the vessel, excluding deck, mast or superstructure.
HYDROFOIL - A vessel that has foils under it's hull onto which it rises to plane across the water surface at high speed in more comfort.
HULL - Shell or body of a ship - applies to the side and bottom of ship.
HYDROFOIL - A craft that under acceleration rises above water but remains in contact with the surface through supporting legs.
Displacement hull boats have a maximum hull speed based on characteristics such as waterline length, draft, smoothness, etc. To overcome this limitation, planing hulls (speedboats) and hydrofoils rise out of the water at higher speeds.
Hounds - Attachments of stays to masts.
Hull - The shell and framework of the basic flotation-oriented part of a ship
Hydrofoil - A boat with wing-like foils mounted on struts below the hull.
