The solar boat project at the Kanazawa Institute of Technology (KIT) has started in 1991 as a student research theme. From 1995, a fully submerged hydrofoil system has been adopted for the solar boat in order to reduce wave making resistance of the hull. A fore foil height-control-system was introduced to adjust pitching motion of the boat and its height from surface of the water. For the main foil, an aileron mechanism had a function to control rolling motion in cruising of the foil-born mode. Several tests were conducted to clearly understand the performance of the solar boat. A testing apparatus for the full-scale propeller was constructed and measured the propeller performance on the sea. Hull resistance with the hydrofoil system was also measured in a towing test on the sea. The boat speed was estimated by using the both data of propeller performance and the hull resistance. The estimated values coincided well with the characteristics of the actual solar boat.
