Breaking barriers is hard to do. Maiden examines the life of Tracy Edwards. Born to a good family all things went well for this Brit. But a family death and remarriage saw the young lass lose her way through a fault not her own. Ugly abuse led her to go down her own path. That wayward journey led her into a Bohemian nomadic lifestyle getting her into trouble at school and at home. Looking for escape and a Better life and bitten by the travel bug this is where our story picks up steam. Drawn to the beach and with a Little bit of luck Tracy became a cook and the all around go to girl for a group of British sea fares and the rest, as they say, is history.
Dreams drive people and this tomboyish gal always wanted to be the skipper on a vessel at the prestigious International Whitfield Yacht Race. First as a worker and then as her own skipper Maiden reveals the impressive way a woman broke the sex barrier in this cloistered club and the many obstacles cast her way.
