: And it must be a bear to turn the thing around which I assume you
: do with the hull back in the water. As I understand it you have to steer
: it by shifting body weight once it's up on the foils.

I'm not sure what is up with the website. From what I have seen it maneuvers quite well up on foils with a rudder. It obviously won't turn in place while flying but it isn't hard to turn.
