Smuggler Racing B32 is gearing up for the 2024 World Championship with a fresh approach. After years of striving for the title and frequently securing podium finishes without clinching the top spot, the team has decided to update to a more modern and sleek boat.

Rasmus commented, 

“We have aimed many years for a world title, taking both European, Swedish, Finnish, and Nordic titles but never a WC. Sometimes it feels like the title doesn’t want to be in our hands, placing ourselves on the 3rd and 2nd podium. We hope this year, with optimism in the new boat and updates, to achieve the best.”

The team also expresses gratitude towards their loyal sponsors and welcomes new partners joining them in their quest for the WC title. With the largest starting field since the 90s, including over 17 teams from Norway, Sweden, and Finland in Offshore UIM 3B, the competition is fiercer than ever. However, Smuggler Racing B32 remains hopeful that their new advancements will lead them to ultimate victory.

Rasmus and Madeleine have already seen success this season, securing a first-place podium in Finland and a total third-place finish in Smedjebacken, Sweden, last weekend. But is this enough for a world title? Only time will tell.
