April 09, 2009 Miami, FL (Yachts International Magazine) - Although this is designed as a utility boat, its design and technology are applicable to pleasure boats, which Stealth Yachts also builds. During a sea trial in Miami the performance of the Stealth 520, a “Resort Utility Vessel,” attracted much attention, especially when it blew by chagrined tourists aboard the “Thriller” who moments earlier thought they were riding a go-fast

boat. The Stealth went from an unassuming idle beneath the Venetian Causeway to an exhilarating 45 knots in less than 30 seconds, then managed to comfortably maintain a 40-knot speed despite a 30-knot north wind churning up one- to three-foot seas. The hydrofoilsupported catamaran design allows the Stealth to shoot over the surface for a ride more akin to an aircraft in slight turbulence than to a high-speed mono hull subjecting passengers to a pounding with every wave. The Stealth 520 transports up to 42 guests with luggage. The vessel can be custom-configured as required.
