Amazing film footage highlights this inspirational, thrilling, gripping, informative, 97-minute documentary that details the harrowing, arduous, white-knuckled, 33,000-mi, 9-month Whitbread Around the World Race in 1989 in which tenacious, 24-year-old, British charter boat cook Tracy Edwards finally gets sponsorship from King Hussein of Jordan for the Maiden Great Britain yacht and becomes the skipper of the courageous, determined, all-woman sailing crew, including Jo Gooding, helmswoman Sally Hunter, bowman Jeni Mundy, doctor Claire Warren, watch captain Dawn Riley, first mate Marie-Claude Heyes, Pat Edwards, and sail trimmers Nancy Harris, Angela Heath, and Tanja Visser, on a multi-leg journey with stops in Uruguay, Australia, New Zealand, Cape Horn, and the United States on their way back to Southampton, England, and it includes insightful interview snippets with journalist Bob Fisher and Barry Pickthall, project manager Howard Gibbons, and skippers Bruno Dubois, Skip Novak, Grant Dalton, Peter Blake, and John Chittenden.
