Lorentz Näslund was a great friend and boat racer.

We raced three Paris 6 Hours together in my Clerici boats. 1974 was the best year for us. We finished third in the large, very popular UIM OE class.
Lorentz was big into boat racing and did run a Evinrude dealership in a small village named Storfors, Sweden. His dealership was also a hardware store and you could order alcohol in his very unique store.
Sadly Lorentz left us in the early eighties..way to early.
Here is a mix of pictures.
Starting in Rotterdam, Holland 1975 when Lorentz raced his #70 Clerici/Evinrude

Me and Lorentz after Paris 6 Hours 1974. (above)

Lorentz to the right in the yellow t-shirt. I think this is from 1975.

Lorentz in a local news paper I think 1975.

#34 is Lorentz in my 1973 Clerici, #99 is me in my 1974 Clerici. This is from the race in Torsby, Sweden 1974.

(Not sure who the other boat is)

Local news paper again..Lorentz to the left of me and Bo Nilsson to the right. Storfors 1974.

Lorentz in his Offshore E class Joker Ess..First one is from 1973 and the last one 1974.

R.I.P. my friend.

I finally found the pictures of Renato Molinari’s big crash during the UIM OZ class World Championship race in Chasewater, UK 1978.

Renato drove his #20 Molinari/Saffa with the brand new Evinrude V6 CCC 3 liter looper with fuel injection.His brakes failed when he was leading the race..Renato was lucky and “walked away” from this unhurt..

Well..it took Jonas 15 years to show the world he and his team are the very best.

Winning the two races in Portugal and the World Title today. Jonas is the boat builder, engine builder, team owner & driver.

A very unique combination in today’s racing. He showed the world..”old school racing” still works.

Congratulations to Team Sweden.
