F18 Archipelago Raid 2025: Day 1

–

Stockholm Archipelago Raid 2025

Aussies Emma Rankin & Beau White are current F16 World Champs, and getting into F18 together last week they finished second at the 2025 Round Texel, and now are leading the Sweden raid sorting rocks and beautiful scenery this regatta delivers. Talk on versatility for those two.

After two stages on day 1 they lead on a Goodall Akurra ahead Karlsson-Nordblom and Ekefalk-Rosengren, both with Scorpion/1D.

I remember Thomas Ekefalk sending me material to publish and promote this raid a decade ago, when it was called ‘Raid Revenge’, now he is sailing a former Arg Scorpion. Good to see him still sailing this event.
