Directed: ALEX HOLMES
Starring: Tracy Edwards
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-Woman 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. With the support of her remarkable crew she went on
to shock the sport and prove that women are the equal of men.
