16m Stealth Executive Ferry, South Africa

The Stealth Yacht 520 RUV has an overall length of 15.85m and max. beam of 5,461m.
The draught is 1,295 at propeller tips.
Light displacement weight is 18t and the full load displacement 21,8t.
Propulsion is by 2 * 603kW MAN Diesel Engines and QSPD Surface Propeller Systems.
The typical FASTcc Hysucat design was used with fully asymmetrical deep-V-demi-hulls and the standard Hysucat foil system for which the mainfoil is positioned slightly forward of the LCG position and twin trim-foils near the transom inside the tunnel.

The underwater hull is similar to the well approved Stealth Yacht 540.

In the initial trials the Stealth Yacht 520 RUV showed up with considerable acceleration and top speed 45 knots+ in relatively rough water conditions.

The performance prediction by use of the Mathematical Hsyucat Computer Program predicted a top speed of 47.5 knots with full power of the Diesel engines at 3350rpm
