Lucy Frost

Lucy remembers the huge welcoming crowd at Ocean Village when Tracy Edwards and Maiden arrived back in 1990 and the seed was sown. Lucy spent many previous summers at Hayling Island Sailing Club learning how to sail dinghies and windsurfing, but it was that moment in 1990 she realised she wanted to try ‘big boat’ sailing. In 2005 Lucy completed the RYA Yachtmaster course and cruised and raced whenever possible over lakes, rivers, seas and oceans in boats as small as Fireballs through to the Clipper 70s. She has notched up over 25,000 nautical miles, sailed in some fantastic countries, made some lifelong friends along the way and has endured more hurricanes than she cares to remember! Working in the engineering sector, sailing has always been a hobby rather than a career, but Lucy will soon leave for the biggest challenge of her life, the Ocean Globe Race 2023. She sees the opportunity to sail on Maiden is not only a dream come true but a fantastic training programme for what is about to come.
