Yes, hydrofoils can add some speed and economy if you have a planing cat.

On this slowgoing LRC model I think it will rather add drag and collect debris and as this cat is intended to cross oceans I don´t think it is to recommend.

But with more power in a similar and light weight built design, she can of course be equipped with foils. We can call her Coaster and give her a profile like this?
