Post subject:  Hydro-Foiling Like the 72's in the America's Cup?

This topic has probably been covered but while watching and enjoying the America's Cup this weekend I wondered if Hobie has developed or any enterprising Hobie owner developed hydro-foils that would actually lift the boat out of the water in higher winds? If they have, have they been adapted for a Getaway? Looking forward to your replies. Dom

It probably isn't practice to add foils to a getaway as the construction is plastic, an thus not modifiable.
