What fun it’s been training these girls- great adventure ahead
It’s been amazing having the ladies from The Maiden Factor using Hamble Sports Complex for their land based training alongside trainer Emma Westmacott from , preparing for the Ocean Globe Race.
The iconic yacht ‘Maiden’ arrived in Hamble in mid July to prepare for the start of this historic race starting on the 10th September.
Three decades ago this yacht, skippered by Tracy Edwards and an all-female crew finished second overall in her class in the 1989/90 Whitbread around the world race. In a few weeks she will be taking up the challenge again with the most diverse professional sailing crew to ever race around the world.
Maidens mission has been to raise funds for girls education and stem programs in countries all over the world, under the mantra “Educate a Girl, Change the World.”
Good Luck 🤞🏻
