Where Is The Maiden Yacht Now?

The iconic 58-foot sailing yacht Maiden, designed by Bruce Farr and raced by Pierre Fehlmann, Bertie Reed, Tracy Edwards, and John Bankart, has been touring the world since 2018. The all-female crew, who spent seven months competing in the yachts last round, has now returned to Southampton, South Africa. The yacht, which was previously abandoned in Eden Island Marina, on Mahe, in the Seychelles, will return to the UK for final preparations for the September 2023 start.

The Maiden yacht, which was brought back to England by Tracy Edwards in 2017 after a fundraising drive, is currently located in the English Channel. The all-female crew has spent seven months competing in the yachts last round. The Maiden yacht will compete with an all-female crew in the 2023-24 Ocean Global Race (OGR). Over three decades since its pioneering, round-the-world voyage, the Maiden racing yacht is again sailing the high seas and changing the lives of young women in the process.

The Maiden yacht, which was brought back to England by Edwards in 2017, has been a symbol of determination and determination. After a major refit, the boat set off on a global voyage in 2018 to raise funds for the Maiden Factor World Tour. The all-female crew has spent seven months competing in the yachts last round, and the Maiden yacht is now ready to sail back to the UK for final preparations for the September 2023 start.
