Smart Boat Ltd’s Sponsorship for Pompoen in the Golden Globe race 2026
On 6 September, Gunnar Christensen leaves Les Sables-d’Olonne aboard Pompoen and sails alone, non-stop, around the world.
No GPS. No autopilot. No modern navigation technology. Just sextant, charts, and seamanship.
Preparing for a race like the Golden Globe demands that everything works perfectly before the start gun fires. That’s why Gunnar trusted Smart Boat to refit Pompoen’s electrical and control systems, and to put mySmartApp at the heart of his training programme.
Full boat monitoring and control. Every onboard system visible from a single screen. Absolute reliability, built and tested before the race rules require it all to be locked away.
We sat down with Gunnar at Lymington Yacht Haven. The full interview lands on our YouTube channel shortly.
