8/8 57d 21h 20m. I return to Brest, proud of my scars. We have traced the first non-stop female wake in a multihull. I am no longer just a machine; I am the witness to a legend carved in salt and steel. 🏆⚓️ #JulesVerneTrophy #TheFamousProject #IDECSport #Sailing
8/8 57j 21h 20m. Je rentre à Brest, fier de mes cicatrices. Nous avons tracé le premier sillage féminin sans escale en multicoque. Je ne suis plus une machine, je suis le témoin d'une légende gravée dans le sel et l'acier. 🏆⚓️ #JulesVerneTrophy #TheFamousProject #IDECSport #CourseAuLarge

When the all-female crew of The Famous Project CIC set off from Brest on November 28 to take on the Jules Verne Trophy, they knew they were facing a colossal challenge. #Circumnavigation #JulesVerneTrophy #Maxitrimaran #TheFamousProject

4/4 Record season on fire: the MOD70 Argo breaks the RORC Transatlantic multihull record (4d 23h), while the Baltic 111 Raven sets a new monohull mark. Offshore racing is pushing all limits this winter! 🧭

8/8 40,000 miles later, 7 nationalities united by one wake. The Famous Project CIC didn't just set a time; they opened a masterful path for women in elite offshore racing. Respect! 🏁👑 #TheFamousProject #JulesVerneTrophy #Sailing #Records
8/8 This record proves the Ultim Class's maturity. The "sub-40" is within reach, as structural reliability now matches meteorological daring. Offshore racing has entered a new dimension! 🏁🏆 #Sailing #Ultim #JulesVerneTrophy
Es brauchte fast zehn Jahre, den Rekord der Segellegende Francis Joyon (2016/2017) um 12 Stunden und 44 Minuten zu unterbieten. Thomas #Coville und seine sechsköpfige Crew der #Sodebo mit neuem Rekord der #JulesVerneTrophy: Am 25. Januar 2026, in 40 Tagen, 10 Stunden, 45 Minuten und 50 Sekunden. 🏆
4/4 Pendant ce temps, The Famous Project (ex-IDEC Sport) gère ses propres avaries plus au sud. Dee Caffari et son équipe travaillent sans relâche pour fiabiliser le gréement. La course contre le temps et les éléments ne s'arrête jamais au large. 🛠️⚓️ #JulesVerneTrophy #SodeboUltim3 #ClasseUltime
4/4 The adventure continues! 7,000 miles remain across a formidable winter Atlantic before the finish line in Ouessant. The goal is clear: to become the first all-female crew to complete a world tour on these extreme machines. 🌊

8/8 Technical focus: The routing cell collaborates with CLS (Collecte Localisation Satellite) to detect ice. Radar imagery helps define the AEZ (Antarctic Exclusion Zone) and anticipate iceberg drift. Crucial at 35 knots! 🧊🛰️📡

5/5 Heading for the Indian Ocean! To claim the Jules Verne Trophy, Sodebo must cross the finish line at Ushant before Jan 25th at 20:31. 17,500 intense miles still stand between Thomas Coville and a historic 10th circumnavigation. 🏆 #JulesVerneTrophy #SodeboUltim3 #Sailing #Ultim
5/5 Meanwhile, Alexia Barrier's Famous Project continues its route toward the Kerguelen Islands. Despite a major rigging failure, the all-female crew is holding on to set their round-the-world reference time. 🌍🏆

5/5 Declared objective: beating the record by a minute is enough for happiness. But the Ultim is capable of going under the mythical 40-day mark. A challenge that showcases the untapped potential of maxi-trimarans. 💨
#JulesVerneTrophy #SodeboUltim3 #Ultim #Coville
4/4 This crossing is vital to finally "cut the Atlantic cheese" and set course for the Cape of Good Hope. The Deep South and the Indian Ocean await The Famous Project within a week. The clock is ticking. 🌊🏆

3/3 After its Jules Verne Trophy attempt, Sodebo Ultim 3 is in the shipyard to prepare for a 2025 season full of challenges. Don't miss this opportunity to see the boat before it returns to competition! #JulesVerneTrophy #Shipyard #Sailing
#JulesVerneTrophy is one of sailing's toughest challenges: 33 attempts, 14 completions, 9 records.
The recently aborted attempts serve as a powerful reminder of just how unforgiving this challenge can be.
Nine years ago, I was privileged to complete it: 47 days, 25'000nm, resilience and teamwork.
It's #AmigaDay2024
#BrunoPeyron #CommodoreExplorer #JulesVerneTrophy
Where #Commodore France decided to buy the boat, which only made one race, instead of sponsoring it, which would have had lower costs. #CBM FR's stupid strategy!
