Strandberg & Örtendahl spikade raiden!

Grattis som fan till Martin Strandberg och Johan Örtendahl. De hade ett enda mål med säsongen och det var att vinna Archipelago Raid. Det såg halvkärvt ut halvvägs, men de fick ändå ihop det på slutet. Respekt också till Karin Almquist som tillsammans med Fredrik Aurell slutade 12:a. Sköna bilder: Oskar Kihlborg.

Vi väntar på kommentarer från hjältarna.

Team Thule Winners of the Archipelago Raid 2009
Swedish Team Thule with helmsman Martin Strandberg and crew Johan Örtendahl was first to cross the finishing line at Lidingö, Stockholm today at 14.22, becoming winners of the Archipelago Raid 2009. They kept a good lead all the way to the finish and managed to catch up with their main rivals in the overall standings. French Team Citus Proust/Motteau where close to their goal of being the first crew to repeat victory to win two Archipelago Raid competitions in a row. They have also had a tough competitor in British Team Audio Network Sunnucks/Farren, third overall that only lost their chances yesterday after some technical problems.
