Racing yacht just keeps on giving in extraordinary ways

The Maiden, a pioneering racing yacht, has embarked on a new journey more than three decades after its historic, round-the-world voyage. The yacht, which once challenged the male dominance of sailing, is now being used to empower young women around the world. The Maiden is currently on a global tour, visiting various countries and providing educational and training opportunities for young female sailors. The project aims to inspire and support young women, helping them develop essential skills and confidence to pursue their dreams in the male-dominated world of sailing. The yacht's legacy continues to have a profound impact, as it serves as a symbol of female empowerment and demonstrates the remarkable resilience and achievements of the original all-female crew that circumnavigated the globe decades ago. The Maiden's ongoing journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and the transformative potential of providing opportunities for young women in sports and leadership roles.
