This year the Team Kemetyl Racing #27 Nitra/Evinrude G2 250H.O. had enough fuel on board to reach the finish line in this long race.

Last year the X-27 was leading the race but run out of fuel a few miles before the checkered flag.

Well done and congratulations to Marcus that just became a proud dad.

Peter Forsberg with co-pilot Johan Magnusson drove his #Z-71 boat with Evinrude 150 H.O. power to victory in the V-150 class. (For some reason the V-150 class is not in the result above)

Note: Peter have raced the Z-71 boat six times this year and been in the winner’s circle six times. Hard to beat that record.

Mats Lindstedt: The overall winner of Roslagsloppet 1996.

16 July, 2016 Published by: Lars Strom

Today Mats and is family visited us here in Saint Lucie West and lots of memories was flying thru my head.
Really fun to see him after many years away from Sweden.
Mats dad Leif hired me as a little boy to promote his new little “Tollare Jollen” with a 10 hp outboard.
He asked me to drive around at the local marinas so people could see his new little row boat with “Tollare Jollen” written on the side..
Well..Leif got phone calls and complains from the marinas about this young boy driving his little boat way to fast..!! I was not fired but was told to slow down..
Mats was working for his dad building production Tollare Boats and later started to race Offshore in Sweden.
1996 Mats drove his own design X-36 Tollare Racing/Merc 2.5 liter to the overall victory in famous Roslagloppet.

Thanks for visiting Mats and you have a very nice family.
