BREST, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Alexia Barrier looks impossibly small at the helm of IDEC Sport-CIC, a 32-metre (105-foot) trimaran capable of hurtling across the ocean at more than 40 knots. Soon, she will be entirely alone.

BREST, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Alexia Barrier looks impossibly small at the helm of IDEC Sport-CIC, a 32-metre (105-foot) trimaran capable of hurtling across the ocean at more than 40 knots. Soon, she will be entirely alone.
On November 1, the 46-year-old French sailor will climb aboard the giant vessel in Saint-Malo and attempt something no woman has done before: race solo in the giant ULTIM class in the Route du Rhum.

布雷斯特，10月10日（路透社）——在IDEC Sport-CIC号的舵手位置上，阿莱克西娅·巴里尔显得格外娇小。这艘32米（105英尺）长的三体帆船能够以超过40节的速度横渡大洋。不久之后，她将独自一人航行。
11 月 1 日，这位 46 岁的法国水手将登上停泊在圣马洛的巨型帆船，尝试一项前所未有的壮举：独自一人参加朗姆之路 ULTIM 级巨型帆船比赛。
