What this video covers
Pär Nyman, sailing solo in the GGR 2026, broadcasts a live stream from the Atlantic while approaching the trade winds after a slow, hot passage through the doldrums. Making 3 to 3.5 knots on a heading of roughly 210 degrees towards Trindade, he describes waking in the cockpit to a wind shift and planning a mast climb to address unspecified rigging tasks.1:08:48 He attempts dead reckoning and considers taking a moon sight — noting he has sighted the moon before but never worked through the full celestial calculation.1:10:24 Camera and Bluetooth connectivity problems with multiple units consume significant time on stream.1:11:13 He references Damien Guillou as being near Cape Horn and discusses relative positions with other competitors, estimating he can reach Hobart before January 1 and that the doldrums were where Guillou and Pat Lawless gained or lost significant ground.3:53:00 He credits his sailmaker, Christophe and Antoine, for sail choices he calls the best in the fleet, and gives extended credit to a shore team member called Doc for engineering the race's live-streaming system.3:41:12 SSB radio contact with his daughter is planned for 0800 local time.1:07:29
