America's Cup 1992


Blogmaster found some old pictures in the attic from 1992. Sweden raced with "Tre Kronor" SWE19 in the Louis Vuitton Cup. I had the privilege to go out with the Media boat for the two first days of racing. These pictures were taken the first day "Tre Kronor" raced with SAAB sponsorship. The free lance reporter writing for Aftonbladet was bummed because they had taken 1500 pics of the boat the day before, during practice, without the SAAB logo... I proudly present to you, original America's Cup yacht photos from 1992, taken by Blogmaster at the age of 23... Long time ago...
I need to add. The boat designed by Peter Norlin. "Tre Kronor" with skipper Gurra Kranz at the helm.
