The Hobie Trifoiler represents one of the most radical departures from conventional sailing ever produced for the consumer market. Designed by Greg Ketterman and inspired by his worldrecordbreaking Longshot—which set a speed record of 43.55 knots in 1993—the Trifoiler was manufactured by the Hobie Cat Company during the 1990s. This twinmasted, hydrofoiling trimaran was designed with a singular focus: speed. Unlike traditional catamarans that rely on hull buoyancy and weightshifting to remain upright, the Trifoiler utilizes a sophisticated mechanical sensor system to manage lift and stability, effectively functioning more like a lowflying aircraft than a standard sailboat.
