Abstract
The multiple embodiments of the present invention involve a watercraft payload carrying system for which a payload can be carried and moved in a liquid such as water. The system includes a hydrofoil that when the system is accelerated, the hydrofoil lifts the system and the payload is raised relative to the waterline. In an embodiment the watercraft payload carrying system can have multiple interconnected modules where each module has a hydrofoil and receiver for carrying a payload. In an embodiment, the watercraft payload carrying system is modularly designed where the hydrofoil and receiver are removably attached.
