Movie- MAIDEN (7.00pm)


November 3, 2019

"They just wanted to do what the men did, and it sure as hell didn’t hurt that they did it better." Kate Erbland, Indiewire

Maiden is the inspirational story of how Tracy Edwards, a 24-year-old cook on charter boats, became the skipper of the first ever all-female crew to enter the Whitbread Round the World Race in 1989.
Tracy’s dream was opposed on all sides: her male competitors thought an all-women crew would never make it, the chauvinistic yachting press took bets on her failure, and potential sponsors rejected her, fearing they would die at sea and generate bad publicity.
But Tracy refused to give up: she re-mortgaged her home and bought a second-hand boat, putting everything on the line to ensure the team made it to the start line. Although blessed with tremendous self-belief Tracy was also beset by crippling doubts and was only able to make it through with the
support of her remarkable crew. With their help she went on to shock the sport and prove that women are the equal of men.
