O que este vídeo aborda

Norwegian sailing magazine SEILmagasinet features an interview with Are Wiger, described as the first Norwegian to complete the Golden Globe Race. Wiger began solo sailing in the 1980s, including an Atlantic crossing via the Azores, and has built a reputation in offshore sailing circles. The interview covers a near-capsize incident on a passage from the Canary Islands to Cape Town, during which his boat broached and he was thrown through a companionway hatch unsecured, striking his head and bleeding heavily — he feared the wound was fatal but it proved minor. That story was not fully told in the podcast itself; the detail about the blood and his fear emerged only in the studio conversation. Wiger has since purchased a Victory 42, designed by Håkan Sødergren, and plans to race it in the Race to the Arctic. Thomas Nilsson is absent for this episode; Bror Sonne conducts the interview in his place.Watch
