The 2026 Golden Globe Race (GGR) fleet gathered at Les Sables d'Olonne for the Citroën Challenge Prologue, a 300-mile shakedown race designed to test boat systems and equipment before the solo, non-stop, non-assisted circumnavigation begins on September 6.0:07 The start featured light winds and a foul current, leading to a disorganized line that officials eventually dissolved, instructing entrants to proceed directly to the first waypoint.8:12 The fleet includes various production and custom designs, such as the Rustler 36, Vancouver 34, Cape George 36, and Endurance 35. Notable entries include Damien Guillou on the Rustler 36 *Solarem*, which is considered a favorite, and the OE32 *Ollianta*, which previously completed the GGR in the Chichester class.2:07 Participants utilized the prologue to evaluate sail trim, including the use of foam-luff genoas and various spinnaker configurations, while support teams monitored performance in the light-air conditions.26:22 The event serves as a final technical trial for the entrants before the official race start.
