Tracy Edwards - The Skipper of Maiden

Available for over a year

Robert talks to skipper Tracy Edwards and producer Victoria Gregory about the documentary 'Maiden', telling the story of the first all-female international crew in the 1989 Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race. Despite the many hurdles and dangers sailing around the world, the true challenges facing Edwards and her all-woman crew was the overt and institutionalised sexism, misogyny and the media whom at best saw them as a novelty act, gate-crashing the well-established male sport.
