Maiden

Sun., 11/3, 7:00 p.m.

Alex Holmes, 2018

In 1989, the very idea of a competitive all-female sailboat crew was nearly inconceivable to the manly world of open-ocean yacht racing. 26-year-old Tracy Edwards proved them wrong with her second-hand racing yacht Maiden, and her seasoned crew. The story of Maiden’s upstart, defiant run at the Whitbread Round the World Race has all the elements of an epic adventure tale—50-foot waves, life and death drama, near-mutiny, thrilling victory—grounded in a perceptive group portrait of a team of courageous young women led by the remarkable, complicated Tracy Edwards.
