A hydrofoil boat can skim over the surface of the water. It features wing-like structures called foils beneath the hull that lift the boat above the water as it gains speed, reducing drag and allowing for smoother travel. This design enables the vessel to glide efficiently, especially in choppy conditions. Hydrofoils are often used in high-speed ferries and racing boats.

Will the filter be affected by water above the skimmer?

It won't work as a skimmer if your water level is above the skimmer. If you watch how the skimmer works, the water is pulled in over the skimmer door and it won't "skim" the floating debris off the surface of the water if the water level covers the entire opening, your skimmer will just suck in water that is below the surface. If you keep the water level so it's at least below the opening an inch or so, you should be o.k. If you've recently had alot of rain, you may need to drain some water out of the pool so your skimmers function properly.
