Idec Sport<\/strong>, led by\u00a0Alexia Barrier<\/strong>\u00a0and her seven female crew members, completed\u00a0its world tour<\/a>\u00a0on Monday, January 26 at 12 PM, in 57 days, 21 hours, and 20 minutes. To measure the impact of this historic first for an all-female crew,\u00a0<\/em>Sailorz\u00a0interviewed several female sailors, all of whom were unanimous in praising The Famous Project CIC.<\/em><\/p>\n

57 days, 21 hours, and 20 minutes: this is now the reference time for the Jules Verne Trophy for a 100% female crew\u2014specifically that of\u00a0Idec Sport<\/em>, “forever the first,” to borrow a phrase popularized in French\u00a0football. This milestone could have been achieved 28 years earlier if\u00a0Tracy Edwards<\/strong>\u00a0and her\u00a0Royal Sun Alliance<\/em>\u00a0crew had finished their 1998 attempt, which was unfortunately cut short by a dismasting 2,000 miles off the Chilean coast after 43 days at sea.<\/p>\n

On board back then was a certain\u00a0Samantha Davies<\/strong>, only 23 at the time, who comments today:\u00a0“It\u2019s incredible that it took so long to put a project like this together again, but\u00a0it\u2019s great for women’s sailing that Alexia dared to take it on<\/strong>, especially since it wasn’t easy to finalize, particularly from a budgetary standpoint. It probably wasn’t the project she initially dreamed of\u2014she would have wanted much more preparation time before leaving\u2014but\u00a0her talent lay in not giving up<\/strong>; she never let go.”<\/em><\/p>\n

This tenacity from the Mediterranean skipper leads\u00a0Anne-Claire Le Berre<\/strong>\u2014who, along with Audrey Ogereau, will be the first woman to compete in an Ocean Fifty in the Route du Rhum-Destination Guadeloupe later this year\u2014to say:\u00a0“It\u2019s beautiful to think they managed to find the budget, the boat, and the crew to complete this world tour.\u00a0They have broken down new barriers and opened a new chapter<\/strong>. Even if we are first and foremost athletes setting performance goals, this is what we all try to do in the background of our projects.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“An enormous feat
\nto have made it around”<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

One of the very few women to have sailed an Ultim to date\u2014on\u00a0Actual Ultim 3<\/em>\u00a0and then\u00a0SVR Lazartigue<\/em>\u2014Am\u00e9lie Grassi<\/strong>\u00a0emphasizes:\u00a0“Many people dream of setting off on the Jules Verne; these are very difficult projects to bring to fruition, so\u00a0I am incredibly respectful of the fact that they managed to be on the starting line<\/strong>. Additionally, Alexia set the challenge of doing it with a female crew, which was far from obvious. Even though offshore racing is becoming more democratic and there are more and more women, we remain underrepresented on the various circuits, and even more so on multihulls. She combined girls who had already done world tours with others who had little offshore experience; under these conditions, with such a small budget,\u00a0it is an enormous feat to have made it around<\/strong>.”<\/em><\/p>\n

For\u00a0Charlotte Yven<\/strong>, both the first female Elite French Offshore Racing Champion and a Solitaire du Figaro podium finisher (second in the last edition),\u00a0“They took on the challenge of doing something that had never been accomplished before;\u00a0it’s a door opening<\/strong>\u00a0and it’s very inspiring. It reminds me a bit of when I followed Sam Davies’ Vend\u00e9e Globe on Roxy\u00a0<\/em>(in 2008, when she was just 12). I was a huge fan; I watched all the videos and had a bus-shelter-sized poster that totally covered one wall of my room.\u00a0What she projected, but also her performance, inspired me a lot<\/strong>. I was doing Optimist racing then, and I told myself it would be truly amazing to sail a big boat one day like she did.”<\/em><\/p>\n

This inspirational aspect is also highlighted by\u00a0Victoria Low<\/strong>, Managing Director of\u00a0The Magenta Project<\/a>, a program designed to provide opportunities for women to reach the elite level.\u00a0“This accomplishment is both awe-inspiring and\u00a0a significant milestone for women in sailing<\/strong>.\u00a0It is a key moment in the sport\u2019s history and a reference point that will stand going forward.\u00a0Importantly, the value of the achievement is not defined by the time recorded, but by completing the challenge itself.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“A very good thing to establish
\na first female reference time”<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

Regarding the time\u2014which could have approached 50 days if not for a complicated finish involving a torn mainsail and waiting out Storm Ingrid\u2014Am\u00e9lie Grassi is keen to set the record straight:\u00a0“I heard some rather negative comments about the fact that they did it in ‘cruising mode,’ but I don’t think you can ‘cruise’ for 57 days on a giant trimaran! OK, they took many more days than the record, but\u00a0there aren’t many people today who have completed the Jules Verne in under 57 days<\/strong>. It\u2019s hyper-inspiring; it opens a path.”<\/em><\/p>\n

For Italian-American\u00a0Francesca Clapcich<\/strong>, who came second in the last Transat Caf\u00e9 L’Or in Imoca (with Will Harris) on\u00a011th Hour Racing<\/em>,\u00a0“they showed incredible resiliance<\/strong>\u00a0especially in all the technical issues they faced. Most of other teams would have probably give up and turn around and they pushed till the end to make history. It\u2019s an important milestone for women in the sport and showing what\u00a0we can do in a sport that is still quite male dominated<\/strong>\u00a0and where there is a lack in sponsorship for high performance women.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Chlo\u00e9 Le Bars<\/strong>, who succeeds Charlotte Yven this year in the Figaro circuit under the Skipper Macif program, adds:\u00a0“They encountered quite a few technical problems and didn’t have the newest equipment, but the fact that they reached the end shows that\u00a0female sailors absolutely have the skills to sail multihulls around the world<\/strong>. It\u2019s a very good thing to establish a first female reference time; I hope it will make other female sailors want to go into multihulls.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“Even if the time is far from the record, it allowed for communication on the fact that it is possible for women to do a crewed world tour. And since the time is beatable, I think it can make others want to launch into the same type of project,”<\/em>\u00a0explains\u00a0Caroline Boule<\/strong>, skipper of the foiling Mini 6.50\u00a0Nicomatic-Petit Bateau<\/em>.\u00a0“Personally,\u00a0I would dream of buying\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Actual Ultim 3<\/strong>\u00a0and launching a project like that; it would be the ultimate dream!<\/strong>“<\/em><\/p>\n

“Alexia offered a golden opportunity
\nto her crew members”<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

For our interviewees, one of the great virtues of The Famous Project CIC is that it allowed\u00a0eight women to prove themselves around the world on a multihull<\/strong>\u2014previously, only Ellen MacArthur (solo), Adrienne Cahalan (with Steve Fossett) Dona Bertarelli (aboard Spindrift 2<\/em>) had completed this course. This significantly expands the “pool” of female sailors with this experience.\u00a0“Once you’ve done that, you enter\u00a0the very short list of female sailors who check this box<\/strong>, which until now could be counted on the fingers of one hand. Now, we’ve just added a whole lot more,”\u00a0<\/em>smiles Am\u00e9lie Grassi.\u00a0“Even if we are generally well-received, sometimes you have to elbow your way in to find opportunities in a field that remains very masculine. Here,\u00a0Alexia offered a golden opportunity to all her crew members<\/strong>.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“It reminds me a bit of our Volvo Ocean Race with Team SCA<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>(2014-15),”<\/em>\u00a0adds Sam Davies.\u00a0“It had been twelve years since there were women in the Volvo; we had great female sailors, but we didn’t have the experience of that race. Bringing that project to completion opened many opportunities afterward for all the girls.”<\/em>\u00a0For Caroline Boule, the eight crew members of The Famous Project CIC\u00a0“now have\u00a0this business card<\/strong>; they have proved they have their place on a multihull.”<\/em>\u00a0This leads Anne-Claire Le Berre to say:\u00a0“True success for inclusion is when men call on women more for their skills than for a question of gender, and\u00a0I hope Thomas Coville will take some women on board next time<\/strong>.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Sam Davies adds:\u00a0“I also hope The Famous Project will\u00a0show sponsors that supporting female and mixed crews is worthwhile<\/strong>\u00a0and that it will allow Alexia to continue and improve this record further.”<\/em>\u00a0This wish is shared by the “pioneer” Tracy Edwards, the first woman to assemble an all-female crew for the Whitbread 1989-90, and then nine years later on a multihull:\u00a0“It is such a shame they didn\u2019t have the budget to turn back when they knew they were so far behind the record time, repair and start again as other projects have done.\u00a0I sincerely hope they find the budget to mount a serious attempt at the overall record<\/strong>.”<\/em>\u00a0Am\u00e9lie Grassi agrees:\u00a0“The ideal would be natural diversity, but seeing what they did, we would also love to see a female crew with a real budget and a recent boat be able to beat the record.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

The Famous Project CIC was also\u00a0hailed by many male skippers<\/strong>, such as\u00a0Benjamin Schwartz<\/strong>, a new holder of the Jules Verne Trophy with the\u00a0Sodebo Ultim 3<\/em>\u00a0crew, interviewed last Tuesday\u00a0in our podcast Pos. Report<\/a>:\u00a0“We marked a new page in sailing history, but so did they<\/strong>, with a project that came together very late and a crew that didn’t have experience with giant multihulls. They finished this Jules Verne Trophy in a very honorable time;\u00a0I hope this will launch a dynamic<\/strong>\u00a0so that a female crew can set off to conquer the record.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Contacted by\u00a0Sailorz<\/em>,\u00a0Paul Meilhat<\/strong>, who has opened his Biotherm Imoca project to female sailors in recent seasons (Am\u00e9lie Grassi, Mariana Lobato, Marie Riou…), commented:\u00a0“It remains an incredible performance;\u00a0we must not undervalue a world tour in an Ultim in 57 days<\/strong>, especially in the face of adversity, with little budget and training. What I find unfortunate\u2014and I absolutely don’t blame them\u2014is that there were no girls on\u00a0<\/em>Sodebo, given that it’s been over ten years now that mixed crews have existed and we’ve seen that it works very well.”<\/em><\/p>\n
