About C-8
The C-8 is an electrical hydrofoil speedboat. The front and aft foil technology enables flying
(foiling) half a meter above the water surface in speeds above 17 knots. The reduction of water
friction, combined with no transmission losses from the electric pod motor, makes the boat highly
efficient in driving range.
It is easy to extend and retract the foils in the user interface when conditions like speed and depth
change.
Different types of sensors measure the position, speed, and acceleration of the boat, to ensure
that a stable ride is maintained at all speeds.
