Hublot ambassador takes on the Atlantic

Skipper Alan Roura, Hublot ambassador since 2022, is continuing to push himself ever further. In the space of two months, Roura will cross the Atlantic twice. The first crossing began on October 29 , when he took on the “Transat Jacques Vabre”, the longest of the transatlantic routes, between Le Havre and Fort-de-France in Martinique, in the company of Swiss co-skipper Simon Koster. Just a few days after arriving in Martinique, he will undertake his second crossing, the “Retour à la Base”. The return journey from west to east will take the boat from Fort-de-France to Lorient, this time solo and in conditions that can be very demanding. These crossings will also help Roura train for the next Vendée Globe – one of the hardest races in the world – which is set to take place next November.
