Hva denne videoen dekker
Daniel Alfredsson, a professional diver based in Bergen, is preparing an OE32 for the 2026 Golden Globe Race.▶ 1:18 To meet the race's entry requirements, he plans to complete a 4,000-nautical-mile qualifying passage from Bergen to the Faroe Islands, south to a waypoint near Cape Verde, and then to France.▶ 7:33 Alfredsson has invested approximately 2,000 hours into refitting the vessel, including structural reinforcements to the deck and windows, installing watertight bulkheads, and replacing all standing rigging and mast fittings.▶ 15:19 He customized the companionway with a hinged upper section and a viewing bubble to allow for easier access and monitoring while keeping the lower washboard in place.▶ 10:07 For self-steering, he relies on a Hydrovane and is finalizing a secondary, homemade windvane system as a backup.▶ 14:23 His sail inventory includes a mainsail with a large roach to maximize area.▶ 9:04 Alfredsson emphasizes a conservative approach to the race, prioritizing completion over competition.▶ 13:14
