All the IMOCA boats are now moored in Les Sables d'Olonne, ready for the long-awaited start of the Vendée Globe on November 10, in just 12 days' time!

Our ambassador, Alan Roura, is preparing to challenge the “Everest of the Seas” for the 3rd time. This adventure will test Alan's endurance and resilience, as he pushes his limits to reach new horizons.

Let's follow every thrilling moment of this extraordinary adventure. Together, let's support Alan in his solo race around the world!

Alan Roura crossed the finish line 13th in New York on May 8 after 9 days, 23 hours, 34 minutes and 36 seconds at sea from Lorient. Despite foil damage which prevented him from performing at his best, Alan gave it his all.

Unfortunately, he was unable to take part in the return race from New York to Les Sables d'Olonne due to major damage to the IMOCA Hublot. However, he did make the single-handed return trip and arrived at his destination on June 7, 2024.

Many thanks to the more than 300 participants who packed the Millennium in Crissier last Tuesday for La Nuit du Grand Large.

It was a magnificent evening in the presence of several renowned skippers.
