A hydrofoil assembly comprising a fin configured to protrude beyond a bottom of a vessel, and a foil configured to be coupled to the fin at a point of connection is disclosed. The hydrofoil further comprises an actuator to move the foil between a stowed configuration in which the foil does not provide a lifting force, and a deployed configuration in which the foil does provide a lifting force to lift the vessel at least partially out of a body of water. Also disclosed are hydrofoils, vessels comprising such hydrofoils, kits of hydrofoils, methods for attaching a hydrofoil to a fin, and methods of stowing a hydrofoil connected to a fin at a bottom of a vessel.
