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 started the 2022 Vendée Arctique on Sunday. This unprecedented 3,500 mile race will take the solo skippers to the edge of the Arctic Circle.
After an excellent start, Alan experienced some technical problems that put him at the back of the pack, but nothing is done yet for the participants, who should be back in Les Sables d'Olonne around 23rd June.
Alan Roura was the guest of the editorial team of the comedy programme 52 minutes on RTS.

This is an enriching first experience for the young skipper aboard his new boat, which means that he is already qualified for the Route du Rhum - Destination Guadeloupe.
