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.7:30 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.15:34 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.8:59 Alfredsson emphasizes a conservative approach to the race, prioritizing completion over competition.13:14
