STEALTH 540 flybridge
STEALTH hysucat ®
The HYdrofoil SUpported CATamaran
(HYSUCAT) is a hybrid of a catamaran hull
equipped with a hydrofoil system between the
demi-hulls which carries a part of the craft’s
weight at speed.
This development reflects 30 years of Professor Karl-Gunter Hoppe’s research before and
while employed by the University of Stellenbosch, as Senior Lecturer in Fluid Mechanics
and Marine Engineering.
The efficient load carrying capability of the
hydrofoil system combined with the inherent
stability and pleasant seakeeping properties
of the planing catamaran result in a most economical high speed surface craft with excellent seakeeping behaviours. The specific hull
design is an asymmetrical catamaran hull with
a centre-pod rounded tunnel, with the foils fitted forward and aft.
The vessel appears only slightly beamier than
a comparable mono hull without the cumbersome aesthetics of a catamaran, the best of
both worlds.
