2808 spectator boats

Impressive accurate stats from the Stockholm In Port Race

Ola Åstradsson, the Volvo Ocean Race's Port Stopover Manager Stockholm, writes:

We have now counted the number of boats in the amazing picture taken from the Swedish Coast guard aeroplane from the Inport race last weekend, 2808 boats!!

And probably a couple of hundred more outside the picture who made it into the area.

If we play with the number of 15 people as an average per boat it would make a total number of 42120 people out at Kanholmsfjärden. Our national arena for Football has an capacity of 36000. Who said that sailing is a sport that people are not intrested in?

It's has been some of the most memorable days in many of us lives and pictures like this will always remind us of what an incredible experience this has been. Thank you all!
