Gary Baigent may be a person to contact regarding foiling multi’s. Groucho Marx and Fallen Angel are very impressive examples of local foiler design.

Jim Young is also currently prototyping a mono-foiling jet powered deep vee powerboat. The design is different in many respects to the examples shown on the site.

More information will be provided once testing has been completed over the next few months.

Please feel free to contact us on this topic.

Steve-
That’s a nice compilation, thanks. It might benefit from the inclusion of some history behind the iron curtain before fall of the USSR regarding multihull foiling yachts.
-John

The history of multihulls in Latvia is located here: http://www.ldja.lv/en/history.html, and the debut in 1982 of speed-record breaking (27.0 knots, Category A) foiler Centaurus I is here: http://www.ldja.lv/en/history_1982.html.

Centaurus II reached 30 knots in 1983. In 1985, they created a foiling trimaran and several experimental proa-style variants.

In 1996, Aldis Elgajs invented the Catri concept of hydrofoil-based stabilization as implemented in Garupe. See http://www.ldja.lv/en/history_1996.html. A variety of Catri models are available today. You can see the Catri concept here: http://www.catrigroup.com/?lang=en&about=2&id=3 and here: http://www.catri.se
