News Skippers meeting The skippers meeting for the Archipelago Raid 2009 was held this morning by Race Manager Christine Salén. 26 teams from 13 nationalities will compete this year. 20 teams have done the race before and six of them are doing it for the first time. The race will start from Lidingö and head north through the Stockholm archipelago and cross over to Åland. The race will continue north around Åland on to Finland and then return and finish back at Lidingö, on Saturday 22nd of August. The race consists of two legs per day, the first one starting around 05.00 in the morning. There will be some compulsory checkpoints for the fleet within each leg. The fleet will gather every night in a head quarter where the sailors will get some food and rest before the restart. The earlier they get to the headquarter, the more rest they will receive. Each team can be followed through the "Be Safe" tracking system giving each boats position during the race which will be shown on the web-site. Just click on "Tracking!" on the right hand side of the web-site. Stay tuned! Date: 2009-08-15 12:25:19 << Back to News |
