Défi Azimut results
Our ambassador Alan Roura is back in the race! At home during the Défi Azimut which took place last week, he took 8th place in the speed runs and 13th place in the 48-hour challenge comprising 500 miles of solo sailing and a circumnavigation of the island of Groix.
With less than fifty days to go before the start of the Route du Rhum - Destination Guadeloupe, the Swiss sailor knows the magnitude of the event that awaits him. "This Azimuth Challenge has shown us once again just how strong the field is, and how capable everyone is of putting in a great performance."

Défi Azimut : a homecoming
After a three week summer break, Alan Roura is ready to put his foulies back on! Back at his base in Lorient since the end of August, the Swiss skipper has resumed training in preparation for his return to competition this week at the Défi Azimut. This event, which has become a flagship on the IMOCA circuit, should once again live up to its promise as a spectacle and a final test before the major event of the year: the Route du Rhum - Destination Guadeloupe.

Vendée Arctique 2022, I had a real breakthrough
Alan Roura had a magnificent start at the front on 12th June in the Vendée Arctique.
After a few hours of racing, he chose a westerly option which did not favour him in the rankings, but then made a magnificent comeback.
He finished in 7th place in a competition that was prematurely stopped due to very difficult weather conditions.
Alan Roura : « This race was a real turning point for me. The Guyader Bermuda 1000 Race was my return to competition, but above all it allowed me to get back into shape and to start getting to know my boat. In the Arctic Vendée, I gained confidence in myself and in my boat, I was able to put my head down and go for it. Because that's what you have to do! Depending on the wind conditions, the boat's limit is the human element: as soon as the wind dies down, the boat goes for it! You have to trust it and let it do its job. I had to prove to myself that I was capable of doing it and I am. »

Cautious start for Alan in the Guyader Bermudes 1000
The first Imoca race of the season is on.
Alan Roura is currently taking part in the Guyader Bermudes 1,000, a 1,200 nautical mile race from Brest.
For his first solo race since his arrival from the Vendée Globe in February 2021, the Swiss skipper announced that he did not want to take any risks at the helm of his boat, which has a completely closed cockpit and very limited visibility: "Alex Thomson reminded me last night to be careful at the start and that was my intention as well!
On Monday morning, Alan Roura was in 18th position, 60 NM behind the leader Charlie Dalin.
