Eva-Britt Axdal was a very popular Swedish boat racer in seventies.
1972 she made a deal with Evinrude/Huzells in Sweden and raced the offshore E class with an Evinrude 65HP..Not sure what brand of boat her #9 was..but my E152 Piraya with the same power was a bit faster..!!..
Great memories.
My E-152 Piraya 16.
F1-V8 racing in Casale Monferrato, Italy 1983.
The #15 Castrol boat next to me (8) is Allan Nimmo in Renato’s former titanium boat.
This was my first year in the F1-V8 series and the second race.
The first one was Como, Second race in Ampolla, Spain was cancelled..so this race was my second race of 1983.
Fabrizio Bocca’s dad was one of the race organizers.
(A pretty good river race in the deep woods of Italy)
