Gunnar’s solo journey around the world

We are sponsoring Gunnar Christensen in the Golden Globe Race — a solo, non-stop lap of the planet, sailed the old way, with no outside assistance. We have sponsored his live stream so you can follow his voyage here with us.

Day 38 at sea

Gunnar set out from Les Sables-d’Olonne, France on Sunday 6 September 2026, sailing Pompoen — a 1978 Hans Christian 34, known to the fleet as the Mighty Pumpkin.

When Gunnar is on the stream

Eight sailors share the live stream. These are the windows in which it is showing Gunnar. This schedule will change on 27 October 2026.
