Maiden is the inspirational story of how Tracy Edwards, a 24-year-old cook on charter boats, became the skipper of the first ever all-female crew to enter the Whitbread Round the World Race in 1989. Tracy s dream was opposed on alI sides: her male competitors thought an alI-women crew wouId never make it, the chauvinistic yachting press took bets on her failure, and potentiaI sponsors rejected her, fearing they wouId die at sea and generate bad publicity. But Tracy refused to give up: she re-mortgaged her home and bought a second-hand boat, putting everything on the Iine to ensure the team made it to the start line. With the support of her remarkabIe crew she went on to shock the sport and prove that women are the equaI of men. |
