‘MAIDEN’ premiere, New York, USA – 25 Jun 2019 — Tracy Edwards and Alex Holmes attend the ‘MAIDEN’ premiere in New York on June 25th, 2019. Alex Holmes directed the gripping documentary which follows Tracy Edwards who, with an all female crew, entered the legendary Whitbread Round The World Yacht Race in 1989. Edwards was 24 when she decided to take on the daunting task of entering the race. The English native wasn’t an expert sailor, had no money to buy a world class sailing boat AND there had never been a female crew ever in the 32,000 mile race across some of the most dangerous seas in the world. The film follows her as she puts together a crew of deeply committed women to sail the boat, and then the near-impossible task of raising money to buy a boat and stock it, and then through the arduous and at times harrowing journey around the world.
