Huge Spectator Fleet Turns Out For Home Team at Stockholm In Port Race

Thousands of spectator boats turned out to see the Stockholm In Port Race, which took place on Kanholmsfjärden on Stockholm's outer archipelago in conditions that were better than expected. A large spectator fleet, estimated at over a thousand craft, turned out on a glorious afternoon, which helped wrap up Sweden's mid-summer holiday weekend.

It was a day of mixed results for the home team, Ericsson Racing Team. Ericsson 4, the overall winner of the Volvo Ocean race, placed fourth with two fourth-place finishes. While Ericsson 3, skippered by local skipper Magnus Olsson, took second in the first race, but was late to the start in the second race and wound up fifth.
