If a Tandam-Foil is similar to a Ladder-Foil the lift profile is similar to a T-Foil.
The better L/D at a lower V seems to be the T-Foil advantage.

Reference: http://www.tspeer.com/Hydrofoils/generic.pdf

Tapered-V would be interesting to try, even more drag but with linear Drag and L/D it could be very stable?
