When\u00a0Tracy Edwards<\/a>\u00a0skippered\u00a0the all-female crew of Maiden<\/strong>\u00a0in the 1989 Whitbread Round the World Race, she and the team were\u00a0pioneers for women in ocean racing<\/strong>. Finishing second overall they not only proved competitive but in so doing they precipitated a seismic shift in attitudes. Since then Edwards\u00a0has continued to push the frontiers<\/strong>\u00a0to empower and educate women around the world. She has seen the famous 58ft Farr design restored and, since 2021 has sailed more than 30,000 miles to 20 different stops where they engaged with schools, charities and organisations as part of a mission to educate, empower and elevate girls, expanding and improving their life and career choices. Starting Sunday from Southampton,\u00a0Maiden<\/a>\u00a0will now compete on the\u00a0Ocean Globe Race<\/strong>\u00a0with\u00a0a truly global, multicultural, crew of 11<\/strong>, from diverse nations where sailing is not as followed, such as India and Afghanistan. Tip & Shaft caught up with Tracy.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u25b6\ufe0e You will be following the project from land, do you feel more or less stressed this time than at the start of the Whitbread?<\/strong>
\nWe feel amazingly calm and ready\u2026 which is something new for us. We have never left anywhere with Maiden feeling calm but the girls are absolutely on it,\u00a0they are ready, the boat looks absolutely immaculate<\/strong>. And they are ready to go. I do think we are an older, more experienced shore team this time than we had originally. And this crew has such youth and energy. Oh my goodness they have energy!<\/p>\n

\u25b6\ufe0e So what is the main reason for doing the race with Maiden?<\/strong>
\nWe were doing this world tour with Maiden after we restored her in 2017 and we have been sailing around the world ever since, raising funds and awareness for girls\u2019 education. And then we got to September last year and thought she has got one more time around the world in her before we have to start spending ridiculous amounts of money on her. And we have so many girls following us all around the world. And\u00a0we wanted Maiden to reflect the girls who follow us<\/strong>. We wanted crew from all around the world. 33 years ago we proved women could sail around the world. And this time we want to show sailing does not have to be as white.\u00a0This is the whitest sport in the world and it was brought to our attention by Whoopi Goldberg<\/strong>\u00a0who is one of our patrons. We said \u2018let\u2019s change that, let\u2019s get girls who look like them get out there and do it\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u25b6\ufe0e And so how did you find and select the crew?<\/strong>
\nWe widened the search.\u00a0I don\u2019t agree with positive discrimination<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 I probably should \u2013 but we spent about eight months, over three 5 or 6, 000 miles legs trying out different crew. The thing we did differently was not just look in the shallow pool where people usually find women sailors \u2013 they are all great and we love them \u2013 but looked further afield. And\u00a0we found so much undiscovered talent<\/strong>. We looked in Africa, Antigua, the Middle East, India. We went to the National Sailing Academy in Antigua and found Junella King, we found Vuysile Jaca in South Africa through Sail Africaand, she comes from a township just outside Durban, and we spoke to an Indian solo skipper and found Dhanya Pilo. And\u00a0there is Najiba Noori from Afghanistan who escaped the Taliban a couple of years ago<\/strong>. We found her through a women\u2019s aid charity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey want to win\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u25b6\ufe0e What are the sporting and human ambitions?<\/strong>
\nThey are highly competitive crew. They want to win. And we still get this attitude of \u2018well you are just going to be an all-female crew sailing round the world. But what is the point of sailing through the cold, wet and miserable Southern Ocean unless you are going to win\u2019. Of course there has never been an all female crew that has won an around the world race. We came second. And an all female crew has never won a round the world race and so\u00a0that would be a great way to end Maiden\u2019s racing career<\/strong>. I would love that to happen so much<\/p>\n

\u25b6\ufe0e And what would you consider the chances of winning?<\/strong>
\nOur chances are very good. There are handicap and there are line honours. Over the line it is a toss up between us and Pen Duick VI.\u00a0Marie Tabarly is a great rival for us and she is of course female<\/strong>. And her dad was such a legend in the Whitbread. And Pen Duick VI and Maiden each have such great stories. We will be racing hard against each other. She is 70 feet and we are 58 feet. But we know she is carrying some extra weight and we have taken all our weight out. It will be a really interesting first leg I think.<\/p>\n

\u25b6\ufe0e And the human ambitions?<\/strong>
\nWe will use the race\u00a0to raise funds for our charity<\/strong>\u00a0which Maiden has been doing for the last six years obviously. And will continue to fund the girls\u2019 education programmes and STEM programmes we fund around the world. For me I want girls all over the world to look at them and see themselves and see that sailing is not a white, upper class male thing. It is accessible and if you follow your dreams you can make it happen.<\/p>\n

\u25b6\ufe0e How are your projects and trust funded?<\/strong>
\nWe have two strands to our funding.\u00a0Maiden is commercially sponsored<\/strong>\u00a0as she always has been. Our main partner is DP World. We also have Inmarsat, Morgan Lewis and the Great Britain campaign, so the boat is sponsored.\u00a0Everyone is paid<\/strong>\u00a0through that sponsorship, the crew, the logistics, the insurance, berthing, water, food, accommodation and so on. So when Maiden sails into ports and does the fundraising, that money goes into\u00a0our Foundation<\/a>. That is for our girls\u2019 education projects.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n

\u201cLook at women who have lost sponsors
\nbecause they have had a baby\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u25b6\ufe0e How do you evaluate the advances women\u2019s sailing has made in recent years?<\/strong>
\nThere are many more women sailors out there. And there are some fantastically awesome women sailors out there. But\u00a0they still struggle to get money for projects<\/strong>. We still hear the same stories from young women who come sailing on Maiden, they can\u2019t get on big boats. Look at women who have lost sponsors because they have had a baby. We\u2019re not there yet. But the change that has happened is that\u00a0men are very definitely supporting women more<\/strong>. We did not have that 33 years ago. Men visit Maiden and bring their daughters down. It is relevant. We are getting there.<\/p>\n

\u25b6\ufe0e And what do you feel can be done?<\/strong>
\nI think for us\u00a0this is about flagging us up again<\/strong>. We still went to a potential sponsor who told us that \u2018the whole women\u2019s sports, women\u2019s teams, that has been done.\u2019 I\u2019d like to see the next step being that this is normal.<\/p>\n

\u25b6\ufe0e And how has the film\u00a0Maiden<\/a>\u00a0been for you?<\/strong>
\nIt was an amazing response. They did an amazing job. We really trusted them with our story, and the footage and the interviews, we had no editorial rights.\u00a0They told the story well<\/strong>, they did not gloss it and made it as messy as it was, which it was. And that was really important for me because I think girls think if they are going to succeed they think they have to be perfect in every way. They have to look a certain way, say certain things in certain ways but life is not like that. We make just as many mistakes but are held to a higher standard. So\u00a0I wanted the film to be as raw as it was<\/strong>. And it grossed about $4.5m in the US Box Offices and we were nominated for a BAFTA, short listed for an Oscar, won the Guild of Directors award for Best Documentary and went so some great premiers with exciting famous people!<\/p>\n

\u25b6\ufe0e In France it was one of the best received films at Tip & Shaft\u2019s Sailorz Film festival\u2026.<\/strong>
\nI am so pleased to hear that. For me sailors loving it is great, it is the proof of the pudding.<\/p>\n

\u25b6\ufe0e Do you follow ocean racing and sailing as much?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nYes I do,\u00a0I love the Vend\u00e9e Globe<\/strong>. The Ocean Race has lost a little bit for me when the Volvo became so expensive and then people started dropping out and now there are about four boats. I follow the Clipper Race which is a great opportunity to get out on the water.\u00a0 I am not a big fan of the America\u2019s Cup which has become machines flying over the water round a small course, it is just not my thing.\u00a0I am an ocean racer.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
