Positioned above inflatable and entry-level foil boards, the H5-P is engineered for advanced recreational riders, professional instructors, resorts, and commercial operators who require maximum performance, structural precision, and long-term reliability. This is not a leisure novelty product. The H5-P is a true high-performance electric hydrofoil watercraft built to operate consistently in demanding Australian marine conditions.

High-Efficiency Hydrofoil Propulsion System

At the heart of the H5-P is a dedicated hydrofoil-optimised brushless electric propulsion unit mounted within a precision-engineered mast system. Once airborne, hydrodynamic drag is reduced dramatically, allowing the board to cruise silently and efficiently above the water with exceptional smoothness and range.

Key propulsion advantages include:

• High-torque low-RPM motor for rapid and controlled lift-off
• Smooth, linear power delivery for stable height and pitch control
• Ultra-quiet operation for minimal vibration and acoustic disturbance
• Optimised propeller and shroud geometry to minimise cavitation
• Fully sealed corrosion-resistant marine motor housing

This system delivers confident early lift, stable mid-speed cruising, and controlled high-speed flight, making the H5-P suitable for both advanced training and performance riding.

European-Standard Battery Safety and Power Architecture

Battery safety and electrical reliability are central to the H5-P design philosophy. In a market increasingly affected by lithium charging fires and uncertified battery systems, Vector Water Craft specifies European-compliant lithium battery technology with comprehensive multi-layer protection architecture.

The H5-P battery system includes:

• Certified lithium battery cells compliant with European marine electrical standards
• Intelligent multi-channel Battery Management System (BMS)
• Over-charge, over-discharge, short-circuit, and over-temperature protection
• Active cell balancing for stable output and extended service life
• Fully sealed waterproof battery enclosure with impact and thermal isolation

Charging is stable, predictable, and suitable for residential garages, marinas, yachts, resorts, and professional charging bays. This architecture provides a significantly higher level of safety and longevity than uncertified imported foil systems.

The result is consistent power delivery, long battery life, and exceptional peace of mind for private owners and fleet operators alike.

Ultra-Lightweight Carbon Fibre Performance Hull

The defining feature of the H5-P is its rigid carbon fibre monocoque hull. Manufactured using advanced vacuum-infused composite techniques and aerospace-grade carbon laminates, the board delivers exceptional stiffness, ultra-low weight, and precise hydrodynamic control.

Construction advantages include:

• Extremely high torsional rigidity for accurate trim and carving control
• Ultra-lightweight structure for rapid foil lift and efficient cruising
• Exceptional fatigue resistance under repeated flight loads
• High impact resistance for jetty and shoreline operation
• Hydrodynamically optimised hull contours for clean water release

The carbon fibre structure allows the H5-P to respond instantly to rider input, delivering precise pitch, roll, and yaw control that inflatable or plastic boards simply cannot match.

The deck is finished with premium multi-density EVA traction, providing secure stance control during lift-off, carving, and landing transitions.

Precision Hydrofoil Wing and Mast System

The H5-P is supplied with a high-performance modular hydrofoil system engineered for stability, efficiency, and advanced manoeuvrability. The mast and wing assembly is manufactured from anodised aircraft-grade aluminium or carbon-reinforced composite for maximum stiffness and corrosion resistance.

Foil system features include:

• Optimised front wing profile for early lift and high glide efficiency
• Precision-matched rear stabiliser for pitch stability and smooth carving
• High-stiffness mast for minimal flex at speed
• CNC-machined mounting interfaces for alignment accuracy
• Modular wing compatibility for future performance upgrades

This foil geometry delivers gentle take-off characteristics for controlled learning while providing outstanding glide, speed, and carving performance for experienced riders.

Advanced Wireless Control and Multi-Layer Safety Systems

The H5-P is supplied with an advanced waterproof wireless controller featuring refined throttle mapping and ultra-stable signal architecture. Power delivery is progressive and highly predictable, allowing precise control of lift height, cruising speed, and descent transitions.

Integrated safety systems include:

• Dead-man trigger system with instantaneous motor shut-down
• Encrypted wireless communication to prevent signal interference
• Automatic neutral and arming sequence on power-up
• Emergency isolation circuit for immediate power disconnection
• Continuous controller-to-board link integrity monitoring

These systems ensure the board always defaults to a safe state, protecting riders, swimmers, and nearby watercraft in all operating conditions.

Exceptional Flight Stability and Ride Quality

The combination of carbon fibre rigidity and precision foil geometry gives the H5-P exceptional flight stability and ride refinement. Once airborne, the board glides silently above the water with minimal vibration, spray, or wake.

Performance characteristics include:

• Very low take-off speed for easy controlled lift
• Outstanding pitch and roll stability at cruising height
• Smooth touchdown recovery during descent
• Minimal wake and near-silent operation
• Precise carving response for advanced manoeuvres

This makes the H5-P equally suitable for advanced instruction, performance riding, long-range cruising, and premium resort experiences.

Advanced Thermal Management for Continuous Operation

Electric hydrofoil systems operate under sustained load, particularly in warm Australian waters. The H5-P incorporates sealed liquid-assisted cooling and intelligent thermal management to maintain stable temperatures across motor, controller, and battery systems.

This delivers:

• Consistent output without thermal throttling
• Extended component and battery lifespan
• Reduced long-term performance degradation
• Reliable summer operation in high ambient temperatures

Thermal stability is essential for professional fleets, instructors, and high-usage environments.

Designed for Professional Serviceability and Long-Term Ownership

Unlike sealed consumer foil boards, the H5-P is engineered as a fully serviceable electric hydrofoil platform. Modular architecture allows access to:

• Battery modules
• Motor and mast assemblies
• Electronic controller systems
• Cooling and sealing components

This supports commercial fleet deployment, preventative maintenance programs, and future technology upgrades as foil and battery systems continue to evolve. Vector Water Craft maintains long-term parts availability and technical documentation to protect owner investment.
