Please note this event will now be rescheduled during 2015. More details in due course.
On a date yet to be confirmed, Tracy Edwards MBE will give an after-dinner talk on her ground-breaking, all female, ‘Maiden’ voyage.
25 years after the 1989/90 Whitbread Round the World Race, Tracy has recently launched a successful project to bring the yacht back to the UK from the Middle East.
Tracy says: ‘Maiden transcended sailing because it wasn’t just about getting girls on the water. It was much more than that – it was about breaking moulds and proving that anything was possible.’
If you would like to come along and hear all about this wonderful project, which will be used to benefit children and sailing across the country, tickets for this event, @ £39, are now on sale at:
