"The Hydrofoil Resource Site"

All Hydrofoils, All the Time!

  

The International Hydrofoil Society (IHS) is an all volunteer, not-for-profit organization of and for people who design, build, operate, or simply are interested in commercial, military, research, or recreational hydrofoils of any size... power (including human power!) or sail. Other sites are beautiful, but this site is fast, lean, and totally devoted to hydrofoils. Every page, every word, on the IHS site has been created by hand through the contributions of our members and the people who correspond with us. You too can participate, whether you are a member or not.

To navigate the IHS site, simply click on any topic listed below in the Site Directory. The date of last revision is shown in red after each topic. ( July 19, 2008 ) This site is free and open to all.
