The craft operates quietly and doesn\u2019t produce any waves or emissions, which makes it suitable for lakes, rivers, seas as well as marine protected areas, where most motor boats and personal watercrafts can\u2019t go. The Quadrofoil has a top speed of around 21 knots and can go up to 54 nautical miles on a full 2 hour charge.<\/p>\n

The lightweight modular hull is built from composite materials, and weighs in at just 100kgs and is made to be stable at all times because of the foil design, which places the centre of gravity 26 ft (eight metres) above the vessel.<\/p>\n
