Year 1982.

A solution for the instability problems is found and the third speed record-breaking boat CENTAURUS I with hydro-foils is stable. A “clock-face” run with 12 channels and a length of 500m is set up in lake Kisezers, in Riga. In the first speed race, CENTAURUS I, manned by Aldis, convincingly beats the windsurfers and reaches a maximum speed of 27.0 knots. This is higher than the official world record for A class boats.
