She can sing, entertain, be extremely charming and drive a Formula 1 boat better than the rest of the world.
The Grand Prix of Sharjah today was the most exciting boat race ever. Marit drove a perfect race and to see her win made me and the rest of the world a feeling of happiness.

This is so good for both Marit och the sport we love.

A ton of Congratulations to you Marit..I have known for a long time this day will come.

This is from the early eighties when boat racing was at all time high.

Thanks Sandy Ross for the first seven pictures and Bradley Huskin for the last one in San Diego 1982.

Enjoy
