Tracy Edwards, MBE, was captain of Maiden, the first all women's crew to race the Whitbread Around the World Regatta in 1989-1990. Her amazing story is told in the 2019 documentary film of the same name Maiden. Tracy has gone on to a distinguished maritime career, and in recent years, rebuilt Maiden and created a charitable foundation called the Maiden Factor Foundation, which is bringing the vessel and her inspiring story to people around the world. The organization raises funds for and works toward access to education for all girls and others who do not have access around the world. We encourage you to learn more and support the foundation here:  www.themaidenfactor.org

The famous vessel is now on a world tour, visiting well-known sailing locations around the world. She is currently touring famous US ports such as Annapolis, Maryland; New York Harbor; Newport, Rhode Island, and YES! Kingston, New York.

Don't miss out on the fun!  If you are a boat owner, you can join the flotilla to welcome Maiden to Kingston on June 8 or see her off on June 11. You can join Tracy Edwards and the crew for dinner June 8, and you can tour the vessel and meet the crew on June 9 or 10. Information and signups here: https://www.hrmm.org/maiden.html
