Some aspects of insufficient seakeeping qualities of fast catamarans are commonly known. The stabilizing abilities of hydrofoils are known too. The intention of this investigation was to obtain quantitative data about the influence of such foils on seakeeping qualities of fast catamaran. Two types of foils were investigated: single foil spread between the hulls and double T-foils under the bows. Three locations of single foil over the ship length and three angles of attack were tested. The comparison of resistance, accelerations, heave and pitch in irregular head waves between the ship fitted out with and without foils was conducted. Quantitative effects of foils in different configurations and in different sea and operational conditions were estimated.
