Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Daniel Alfredsson, a commercial diver from Bergen, Norway, discusses his preparation to sail solo, non-stop, and unassisted around the world in the 2026 Golden Globe Race.2:51 His boat is an OE 32, a full-keel double-ender designed by Olle Endelin in the late 1970s or early 1980s — the smallest boat in the fleet.3:31 Alfredsson bought it in Malmö, Sweden after signing up for the race as the 2022 edition was finishing.5:19 He considered a Cape Dory 36 and Ahlberg designs before settling on the OE 32, the same model sailed by two previous GGR competitors.6:07 The conversation covers celestial navigation anxiety (he has relied entirely on GPS until now), the nine-sail limit, a new race requirement for a small downwind vane sail for storm conditions, and self-steering gear — a recurring failure point for GGR boats.21:48 His Aries wind vane mounts on the stern-hung rudder; he is also building a trim-tab backup.25:01 Food planning leans toward canned goods and dried meat.44:23 His support team includes manager Simon, partner Stina, and media helper Marlin.36:07 The race starts from Les Sables d'Olonne in 2026; only three boats finished the previous edition without stopping.31:01
