(sailing club MSF) and Alands segelsàllskap r.f. (yachting club ASS).
Botri clubs are located in Marieharnn and have a long history: MSF was founded in 1917 and ASS in 1897.
In the stamp by photographer Daniel Eriksson we see a Laser Radiai.
The Laser boats come in three variants: 4.7, Radiai and Standard. A Radiai has the same hull as a Standard but a smaller mast and sail, and it is therefore better suited for young sailors.
The Laser Radiai is a small singlehanded dinghy with a mainsail area of 5.76 m2.
