Keynote Address by Tracy Edwards
Tracy Edwards MBE shot to fame when she skippered the first all-female crew to sail around the world she and her crew raced Maiden in the 1989/90 Whitbread Round the World Race. Trouncing her critics, Maiden won two legs and came second overall—the best result for a British boat since 1977 and a result that remains unbeaten. Tracy went on to skipper various all-female challenges and created the world’s first mixed gender professional racing team. In 2014, she found Maiden rotting in the Seychelles, raised the funds to buy and restore her. In November 2018, she set off with a new all-female crew on a three-year world tour, raising funds and awareness for girls’ education. The Maiden Factor Foundation works with and supports communities to enable girls education, and empowers and supports them to remain in school throughout their teenage years.
