A fluid foil has a main fixed portion and a tip portion movably mounted at a tip end of the main fixed portion. The main fixed portion has an upper surface and a lower surface, and the tip portion has an upper surface and a lower surface. The fluid foil is operable in: a) a first configuration in which the upper surface of the tip portion is angled downwardly with respect to the upper surface of the main fixed portion; and b) a second configuration in which the tip portion is rotated upwardly with respect to the first configuration such that the upper surface of the tip portion and the upper surface of the main fixed portion are substantially continuous surfaces. The movement of the tip portion with respect to the main fixed portion is exclusively passively actuated by movement of the foil with respect to a surrounding fluid.
