Rapid, light vessel (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hydrofoil

(Other definitions for hydrofoil that I've seen before include "Boat with lifting vanes" , "Vessel whose hull lifts out of the water at speed" , "Vessel raised on vanes" , "Device that lifts a boat out of the water at speed" , "Vessel that rides up on fixed vane or vanes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
