A sailboat which uses hydrofoils either immersed or planning on the water's surface to resist heeling. The boat uses two hydrofoil assemblies, one for the starboard side of the boat and one for its port side. Each part can generate either positive or negative lift. The attack angles and depths of immersion of each hydrofoil are adjustable. The struts which hold the hydrofoils are designed so that the leeway forces produced by the struts are much lower than the lifts produced by the hydrofoils so there is little or no conflict between the hydrodynamic force produced by the hydrofoil and its supporting strut.
