PROUT PANTHER 64 HYSUCAT
A Hysucat foil system was designed by Prof. Hope for the Prout Panther 64 Luxury Yacht of Prout Panther Ltd. in the U.K. which increased the top speed from 31 knots to 42 knots fully laden, 44 knots half load. The Panthers are driven by twin MTU Diesel engines of 850 kW each and Vosper Thorny Craft waterjets (previously Parker Jets!). The first Panther 64 was trialed in England in 1998. Five further Panthers have been equipped with a foil system since.
@Edrow - the Prout performed horribly without foils. The HYSUCAT foil system, saved this boat. Just notice the difference in the height the boat is running at. The improvement was massive! We are talking 50% improvement in speed.
