Professional sailor Aksel Magdahl prepares for The Ocean Race Europe by competing in the prologue event aboard a Volvo 65, formerly known as the MAPFRE boat.0:12 Now owned by the Polish team Sailing Poland, the vessel carries a crew of young Polish talents supported by international professionals, including Bouwe Bekking and Jens Dolmer.2:11 Magdahl oversees the boat's electronics and navigation systems, working to stabilize sensor data and satellite communications during the two-week prologue that spans from Klaipeda, Lithuania, to Lorient, France, with stops in Gdynia and Stockholm.4:06 The project aims to bring the boat to full racing standard before the main European series begins.4:21 Magdahl, who has shifted his focus toward shorter, less frequent international racing commitments to spend more time with his family, views this as a one-off project rather than a return to full-time round-the-world racing.11:14 He notes that the transition to a two-class format in The Ocean Race, featuring both Volvo 65s and IMOCA 60s, provides a more accessible entry point for teams.17:04
