Aujourd'hui, on vous emmène sur l'eau pour faire le tour du monde avec une navigatrice. Alexia Barrier navigue pour la première fois sur le bateau de ses parents, âgée seulement de trois ans. Elle commence la voile dès ses 15 ans et participe à de nombreuses courses. Alors qu'elle étudie en Staps à Nice, elle et son équipe se classent 4e au rang mondial dans une discipline appelée le match racing. À 20 ans, elle a déjà 15 courses à son actif et a parcouru près de 120 000 milles à travers le monde. Son ambition et son envie de progresser l'ont poussé à naviguer en solitaire. À 25 ans elle réalise son premier transatlantique. De Florence Arthaud à Dennis Conner, Alexia Barrier a navigué avec les plus grands. Ambassadrice à l'Unesco, elle se bat pour la protection de la Terre et de la Mer et s'engage dans l'éducation de la jeunesse à la cause environnementale. Marraine de l'Union Nationale du Sport Scolaire, elle s'engage auprès des jeunes collégiens et lycéens. Elle crée en 2009 une association pour la protection de l'Océan appelée 4myplanet qui travaille en collaboration avec des scientifiques pour étudier l'évolution de l'état des océans. En 2020, elle est sur le départ du Vendée Globe parmi les 6 femmes inscrites. Elle finira cette course en 111 jours 17 heures et 3 minutes, à la 24e position. À ce jour, elle est la 10efemme à finir la course en 9 éditions de Vendée Globe. En 2022 elle lance The Famous Project, le Trophée Jules Verne en équipage 100% féminin, qu'elle souhaite courir en 2024 avec un équipage international. Alexia Barrier a fondé en 2010 l'association 4MyPlanet dont l'objectif est de sensibiliser à la protection des océans et de la nature. Le slogan de l'association est « In Ocean we trust In Earth we believe ». La navigatrice utilise son bateau, renommé 4myplanet, comme ambassadeur de l'association. Il permet à la fois de sensibiliser les enfants aux questions environnementales, mais aussi de récolter des données scientifiques pour l'étude des océans.

This week on the show, Pam and Sarah are joined by offshore sailor Joan Mulloy, just three weeks after giving birth to her son Xavier. She is the first Irish woman to compete in La Solitaire and, prior to getting pregnant, she was planning on competing in the 2020 Vendée Globe, which starts on November 8, but 2020 turned out very differently for her.The Vendée Globe is a solo race around the globe and there have only been seven women in the race since its inception in 1989. This lack of representation left Joan feeling like she had limited role models in the sport, especially in an event as unique and lengthy as the Vendée Globe. Entering the race would mean months at sea, away from family, so Joan sought advice from other female offshore sailors who had paved the way. They recommend that she do what her body told her. So once Joan hit her second trimester she made the decision to scale back her on ocean training, instead opting to stay onshore. In offshore sailing races, you often have to go from zero to hero in a few short seconds, from grabbing a few minutes rest—of which you might only get 15 minutes over a few days of racing—to being up on deck making a quick maneuver. These conditions make it less than ideal for an expectant mother. Joan’s passion for her career was clear and starting her family only strengthens her passion, knowing that she is going to be the best mum if she is happy and fulfilled in her sailing career. As with all the sportswomen we have talked to, the importance of your support network is key to success as an athlete, and for the child’s wellbeing. We are very grateful that Joan shared her birth story with us because it’s our hope that these personal accounts will help other women on this journey.And before you go take a listen to Joan talking about the sport on the WiSP Sports The Sailing Show with Abby Ehler and friends.Hosts: Sarah Newberry Moore & Pam Relph JonesPodcast length: 50 minsSubscribe to WiSP Sports or WiSP Sports Mum's the Word on your podcast app.For more information, links and resources plus conversations from the world of women’s sport including articles, blogs, videos and podcasts visit wispsports.com.

On this episode Abby Ehler and Joan Mulloy, co-host to discuss motherhood in sailing. Joan is one of Ireland’s most inspiring young sailors, having represented her country on the global racing stage. In 2018, Joan became the first Irish woman to represent her country at the high-profile international Solitaire Le Figaro race. Her ultimate ambition is to be the first Irish person to complete the Vendée Globe, a solo round-the-world race. Joan has some very exciting yet challenging news not only of navigating the COVID environment but also that she is pregnant and expecting her first baby in September. Joan had been thinking about how much she would love to hear from other female offshore sailors talking about their experiences of motherhood and raising a family alongside their sailing careers. So the aim of this podcast is to delve into the topic of Motherhood and a sailing related career, with the aim of chatting to guests Carolijn Brouwer and Maria Bertrand to talk about their experiences and share any advice to those, like Joan, who are about to enter into the new world of being a mum and many others who are wondering how on earth it is possible to juggle such an unconventional job with being a parent. Carolijn Brouwer has successfully navigated the balance of sailing as a career and being a mother, Carolijn many of you will already know is an experienced dinghy and offshore sailor, having won the last edition of The Volvo Ocean Race with DongFeng Race Team. Maria Bertrand will be a little less known to the sailing world from the outside, however she is certainly no less important and is a master of sailing team logistics and a natural born organiser. Maria, has two children, now aged eight and four, and has worked for five editions of the Volvo Ocean Race.

When she's not battling rough seas, she is writing proposals, just like any business would.

Global Ambitions for Irish Woman Joan Mulloy Joan Mulloy is a solo sailor from Mayo on the west coast of Ireland. She’s on top of her game, having done some serious races in the sport – like the Figaro last year where she was the first Irish woman to complete this race. She’s gearing up […]
Joan Mulloy has spent most of her life on the water. From her first memory of sailing–which is absolutely hilarious–to her decision to give up a good job and a relationship to become a professional sailor, Joan's story is one of constantly taking the path less traveled. Joan is currently the fleet captain at The Offshore Academy in Cowes on the Isle of Wight and is preparing for a solo sailing campaign which she hopes leads her to sailing in the solo, nonstop, race around the world that is the Vendee Globe in 2020. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/livesofadventure/message
