I first met Erik at a SE Class race 1971. He was racing a Schulze Hydro Cat powered with a Carniti 65. (Third Picture)
Erik was extremely fast and left us other racers in his “rooster tail”.
A few years later we got better racing equipment and could compete with Erik.
Second picture show Erik waiting in his Clerici/Carniti at Dalälven, Sweden 1973.
In 1978 we raced together in the Nordic OE class race in Skokloster, Sweden.
Erik was involved in a crash and hurt himself pretty bad.
I think that was the end of Eriks boat racing as a driver but now his son Tom-Erik took over the driving. Erik was the perfect crew chief. The father and son won many races together in the OE/F-3 class.
I invited Erik to my birthday party in Stockholm 2003 and he came.
That was very nice of him. (First Picture)
Now Erik is gone and friends and family is missing him very much
R.I.P. my friend.
