It is now 2014: Among many recent developments in sailing hydrofoilers are the fabulous stallions of Oracle and ETNZ.
AWOL is a softsail SP foiler that looks wicked, and which appeared at Weymouth Speedweeks in 2012 and 2013 as fastest boat at 23 knots.
Flash-Harry is new in 2013 from Australia.
The foils below are among John Ilett’s Moth efforts with surface piercing (SP) foils in about 2000: they became notorious for tucking a shoulder at full speed then rolling in jibes, and were soon followed by bicycle dinghy foilers. Surface-piercing foilers still live however, with advantages like not needing a wand and being less likely to pitchpole after flying too high- unless doing 50 knots, unlikely with soft sails.
