Those ones are reaching a new speed limit as well, the cavitation around the hydrofoil starts at a certain speed/angle and stalls the foil, which then abruptly drops the hull back into the water.
I’ve been wondering how long before the equivalent of variable swept wings will be added to the cup boats.
