Her participation carries a committed project built on passing on knowledge, inspiring through women&#8217;s leadership and contributing to a better understanding of the ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A sporting challenge aboard a legendary boat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.idecsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/261002ABR_DJI_4651-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"The maxi-trimaran IDEC SPORT-CIC under sail offshore, aerial view\" class=\"wp-image-16973741\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.idecsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/261002ABR_DJI_4651-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.idecsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/261002ABR_DJI_4651-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.idecsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/261002ABR_DJI_4651-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.idecsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/261002ABR_DJI_4651-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.idecsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/261002ABR_DJI_4651-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.idecsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/261002ABR_DJI_4651-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The maxi-trimaran IDEC SPORT-CIC, three-time winner of the Route du Rhum. \u00a9 Jean-Marie Liot \/ The Famous Project<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Designed by VPLP and launched in June 2006, this 31.50-metre maxi-trimaran has established itself as one of the most successful boats in the history of offshore racing. It won all three editions of the Route du Rhum &#8211; Destination Guadeloupe held between 2010 and 2018:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2010, as Groupama 3: victory for Franck Cammas in 9 days, 3 hours, 14 minutes and 47 seconds;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2014, as Banque Populaire VII: victory for Lo\u00efck Peyron in 7 days, 15 hours, 8 minutes and 32 seconds, setting a new race record;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2018, as IDEC SPORT: victory for Francis Joyon in 7 days, 14 hours, 21 minutes and 47 seconds, after a duel with Fran\u00e7ois Gabart.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On 1 November, the Ultim IDEC SPORT-CIC will therefore return to the start line in Saint-Malo, with Alexia Barrier at the helm and a new ambition: to make performance part of a project with real meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Passing it on: bringing young people on board<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.idecsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/261002ABR_1JML8446-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Alexia Barrier smiling at the helm of the Ultim IDEC SPORT-CIC\" class=\"wp-image-16973745\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.idecsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/261002ABR_1JML8446-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.idecsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/261002ABR_1JML8446-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.idecsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/261002ABR_1JML8446-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.idecsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/261002ABR_1JML8446-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.idecsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/261002ABR_1JML8446-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.idecsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/261002ABR_1JML8446-500x333.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Alexia Barrier at the helm of the Ultim IDEC SPORT-CIC. \u00a9 Jean-Marie Liot \/ The Famous Project<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Route du Rhum &#8211; Destination Guadeloupe will also be a remarkable educational tool. From Brest to Guadeloupe, by way of the Alpes-Maritimes, more than 50 classes have already signed up to follow Alexia Barrier&#8217;s race, using the educational kit designed by her association, 4myplanet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pupils will be able to discover the maxi-trimaran, learn what single-handed sailing involves, follow the sailor&#8217;s progress and gain a better understanding of the ocean and the changes it is undergoing. On the pontoons in Saint-Malo, some of them will also have the opportunity to talk directly with Alexia Barrier during dedicated sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once at sea, the exchange will continue remotely. In November, between manoeuvres, Alexia will answer the pupils&#8217; questions by video and share with them the reality of life aboard the Ultim IDEC SPORT-CIC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through this approach, Alexia Barrier aims to make offshore racing more accessible and to show that performance can also be a tool for education, openness and awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Innovating: putting every mile to work for the ocean<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.idecsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/261002ABR_1JML7366-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Alexia Barrier manoeuvring on the net of the maxi-trimaran IDEC SPORT-CIC, sails in the colours of CIC, IDEC SPORT and SOPRA STERIA\" class=\"wp-image-16973751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.idecsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/261002ABR_1JML7366-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.idecsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/261002ABR_1JML7366-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.idecsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/261002ABR_1JML7366-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.idecsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/261002ABR_1JML7366-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.idecsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/261002ABR_1JML7366-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.idecsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/261002ABR_1JML7366-500x333.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Alexia Barrier manoeuvring aboard the maxi-trimaran IDEC SPORT-CIC. \u00a9 Jean-Marie Liot \/ The Famous Project<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Alexia Barrier, every voyage must also help to better understand and protect the ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Working with IOC-UNESCO, IFREMER and Oc\u00e9anopolis Brest, she will carry a high-precision barometer and a weather buoy aboard the Ultim IDEC SPORT-CIC. The buoy will be deployed in the Atlantic to measure water temperature and atmospheric pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This operation will build on the work carried out during the Jules Verne Trophy, when two ARGO floats and a weather buoy were deployed in particularly hard-to-reach areas. The race thus becomes a platform for scientific observation and a way to advance knowledge of the ocean&#8217;s balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aboard the maxi-trimaran, Alexia Barrier will not only be taking on an immense sailing challenge. She will embody a vision of offshore racing as a space for passing on knowledge, for leadership and for commitment to the future of the ocean.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 1 November 2026, Alexia Barrier will set sail single-handed from Saint-Malo at the helm of the Ultim IDEC SPORT-CIC, to cover the 3,542 miles separating the corsair city from Pointe-\u00e0-Pitre.
