Are Wiig, the first Norwegian to sail the Golden Globe Race, describes his 2018 circumnavigation attempt aboard an OE 32 and the knockdown that ended it south of South Africa.▶ 29:36 Running south of the Agulhas Current at 40 degrees south to avoid extreme wave refraction, he encountered a storm with seas of 10–20 meters.▶ 29:36 After two knockdowns, he was below deck when the boat fully inverted; he was thrown through the companionway hatch into the water trapped inside the spray hood.▶ 35:47 The mast broke and fell overboard, windows cracked, and water flooded the cabin.▶ 38:40 He cut the rig free, rigged a jury rig, repaired the windvane steering, and sailed roughly 400 miles to Cape Town.▶ 40:30 The OE 32 was sold as a wreck but was later rebuilt and has since competed in subsequent Golden Globe Races.▶ 41:24 Wiig also covers his 1988 OSTAR campaign aboard a Granada 30 (a Granada 31 shortened by trimming the stern), solo sailing rigging philosophy — running all sail controls aft to the cockpit via twin furling headsails — his Lindesnes-to-Nordkapp record, and his upcoming Race to the Arctic crewing with Rune Damm.▶ 2:25 Keeping all sail handling operable from the cockpit, he argues, is the single most important factor in sustained solo offshore efficiency.▶ 27:33
