The second episode of our video series "Privileged interviews with Alan Roura" is dedicated to his Swiss and human project.

Born in 1993 in Onex, near Geneva, Alan has always raced under the Swiss colours and values the quality, performance and seriousness that our country conveys, also through its partners. He also talks about the importance of his team in his project, a team where women are well represented as they occupy four out of nine positions.

Alan Roura crossed the finish line of the Route du Rhum 2022 yesterday afternoon in 21st place in the Imoca category with a time of 14 days, 1 hour and 47 minutes. He thus improved on his previous record by more than a day.

The Route du Rhum was an important race for his ultimate goal, the Vendée Globe, which will start in Les Sables d'Olonne in November 2024.

The 138 participants in the Route du Rhum 2022 are off. 

After a quiet start to avoid taking any risks in difficult cross seas, Alan Roura is back in the top 20 of the race despite the upwind conditions that are currently putting him at a disadvantage.

Northern, central or southern route, we will see what tactical choices the skippers will make to reach Guadeloupe.

The flagship event of 2022 is on the horizon for Alan Roura and his team.

Through these reports, you will discover Alan's personality from a new angle as he confides in us about the values he shares with our school. In the first episode, he tells us about his history and his heritage, but also about his passion for sailing, which he intends to pass on to the skippers who will succeed him.

Many thanks to Alan and his team for joining us in Morges for the launch of our new Bonhôte Strategies - Megatrend Equity ESG fund

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." 

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.

A few days ago, a small group of guests from the bank had the privilege of spending a day with Alan and his team while sailing on his Imoca. An exceptional memory illustrated by the photo above.
