The sixth edition of the race got underway on Monday 26 June and took competitors five days to complete.

For five intense days and nights the 30 teams navigated hundred thousands of rocks and islands of the Stockholm, Åland and Finnish Archipelagos on Formula 18 catamarans.

Along the way they had to find almost 30 checkpoints located on beaches, pontoons, boats and lighthouses. The event is organised in the true spirit of a Raid, demanding an extreme performance in sailing respecting nature in an adventurous spirit.
