We are absolutely delighted to welcome back, sailing legend, Liz Wardley as a retuning Maiden Skipper. Liz is an offshore sailor and three times Volvo Ocean Race competitor, as Boat Captain on the mixed team of Turn the Tide on Plastic and as Watch Captain for the all-female crew of Team SCA in the 2014–15 Volvo Ocean Race. She is also a motivational and public speaker, personal trainer, boat re-fitter and an ocean ambassador who SUPs, surfs and kiteboards in her spare time. “With this calibre of Skipper on board Maiden we know that the crew will be able to grow even more as sailors.” said Founder, Tracy Edwards MBE. Liz says “It is incredible to have the opportunity to sail on Maiden, the first boat to ever race around the world with an all-female crew. It is humbling to follow in Tracy Edwards’ footsteps and skipper her iconic yacht and it’s great to be back!
