The winning boats has all had foils, so the issue cannot be too big as long as you can clear them without too much issues.

Oh, alright, I understand now, you mean lifting foils!

Yes maybe it will be hard to clear some of those, because many of them can't be lifted up through the case. The optimum might be C-foils and rudders with elevators. Which is what the 2016 winner and record holder M32 had! =)

Not only logs, floating clumps of kelp and kelp beds everywhere.
We spent two seasons sailing on the west coast and greatly enjoyed the scenery, indigenous culture, wild animals, crabbing and fishing, but tides and constricted passes with current to 16knots, logs, stumps, fog, ferryboats and log booms, barge trains, etc. keeps one on their toes.

foils are probably no good in this race as lots of logs in the water.
