Tuesday, January 6, 2026 \u2013 Cape Horn gives the girls the green light to continue!<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 3:14 p.m. on Tuesday, January 6, 2026, The Famous Project CIC’s Maxi Trimaran IDEC SPORT, led by its crew of Alexia Barrier, Dee Caffari, Annemieke Bes, Rebecca Gm\u00fcr Hornell, Deborah Blair, Molly LaPointe, T\u00e1mara Echegoyen, and Stacey Jackson, rounded Cape Horn.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On their 38th day of sailing and after covering nearly 16,000 miles (25,700 km), the sailors can now begin the final feat of their journey: crossing the vast Atlantic Ocean.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A relatively mild but demanding Pacific<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entering the Pacific at the longitude of Tasmania on December 26, the sailors of The Famous Project CIC took just under 11 days to reach Cape Horn, which was then 3,800 miles away. It was a fast crossing, marked by 48 hours of very heavy weather, with hellish seas and waves over 8 meters high, and winds gusting to over 50 knots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still struggling with the stubborn mainsail hook, the crew was sometimes forced to flee to take in or release reefs. It was a trans-Pacific crossing marked by consistency, with the maxi trimaran regularly covering more than 550 miles a day, on a route that was certainly very northern, but efficient and rational, skirting the violent depressions of the far south.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
