Powered hydrofoil system
11479326 · 2022-10-25 · ·

A hydrofoil system is disclosed, having a fuselage with a propeller mounted to one end of the fuselage and a wing extending laterally from the fuselage. The fuselage is configured for removable attachment to a mast, so that the mast when attached extends from the fuselage in a direction substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis and also substantially orthogonal to the wing. A tail wing is connected to the fuselage by a tail strut, so that the tail wing is positioned beyond the end of the fuselage to which the propeller is attached. A motor is housed in the fuselage and has a cable connected thereto, the cable extending outside the fuselage, wherein a removable sealing system inhibits water ingress to the motor at the location where the cable is connected when the sealing system is installed in the fuselage.
