See and tour the historic yacht Maiden, which skipper Tracy Edwards sailed into the record-books with the first all-female crew in the 1989-90 Whitbread Round the World Race. After the historic race, the Maiden fell into disrepair but was recently recovered and restored by Edwards. It is now sailed by an all-women crew that includes Wendy Tuck, the first female skipper to win a round-the-world yacht race. The Maiden's arrival in San Francisco is part of a worldwide tour to raise awareness and funds for girls' education around the globe. Tour the yacht and meet the crew at this free event on Saturday, August 24th from 11:00am - 3:00pm at the South Beach Yacht Club.
