About
Raised on Lake Geneva from an early age, it was on the world's oceans that Alan Roura grew up and fulfilled his dreams of ocean racing. After 11 years of sailing on the family boat, he "passed" his Mini Transat in 2013 at just 20 years old. Three years later, he became the youngest competitor to finish the Vendée Globe at the age of 23 and will be taking part again in 2020. The solo North Atlantic record in hand, on the way in 2019. In 2022, backed by a new sponsor and at the helm of a new generation boat, Alan will be keen to put in a very good performance!

The legend! The Route du Rhum is one of my favourite races. It is beautiful, it is difficult, it is to be earned, and both the start in Saint-Malo and the finish in Pointe-à-Pitre are always high points!
