…I am working with Aldis almost 16 years, and believe me, I know him very well. (Centaurus 35, 38, 40uc, Catri 26r, 27. He is a great multi-huller and Multihull scientist, but he is not a real designer and engineer. For sure he is not a good businessman. He was so smart to make a patent of Catri hydrofoil system. That is all. Why he change a builders each year, and no final production line at full 7 years? Answer very simple: he is old and rush to make his own money off the patent royalty. If no production, change the builders and make your initial royalty from new builder. Simple!!! I was involve in this game and know exactly. He does not care about any responsibility before customers (you are a bright sample) and builders (myself, Gints, Harijs, Andersons & ect). No one builder have full designers documentation for any his projects, because he does not have it. Simple!!! He can make a blue print and wrong structural engineering (it is why I change about 90% of his structural reinforcement on Catri projects and make the project with full building documentation myself. It take time and lots of additional money). I was quiet lots of years about Aldis, because it is only my opinion, but after i read messages at the Catri owners forum and look at the situation, i can't to be silent any more...

...Sailors in Latvia didn’t remember about Eglais today -3-5 very old (30 year) catamarans in the water only. Not any Catries. Catri was the project to take money from crazy sailors from old countries not boat design. It was the supper reckless scheme and cheating. You are one of victim. Sorry, but it is reality. I’m not happy that we leave in one country with Aldis...
