Maiden (English audio)

Absolutely wonderful. I have watched the DVD nine times. Yes, I suppose that's because I am a yachtsman. A wonderful true story of Tracy Edwards and her crew, in the Round the World Race; my only regret is that the documentary is only 90 minutes long out of a possible 3-4 hours that was edited. There should have been two DVD's. A gripping story of determination against all odds, with an amazing ending. Definitely recommended.

Fabulous story of determination by a wonderful sailor. One I'll watch again whenever I'm feeling a little challenged by life, the sea or the boat!

this film is well worth a watch. The filming was made of old film taken nearly 30 yeas ago but somehow it adds to the drama. A real tale of courage and hard work. A tear jerker.

I well remember these young woman embarking in this epic challenge, this is well worth a watch, with one caveat, that is that although this is in Blu Ray the actual footage of the sail itself is footage that was captured at the time before things like GoPro cameras were even thought of, so you may be underwhelmed if you are expecting picture quality be similar, it isn't, but none the less it is well worth a watch for the story itself, and the amazing footage captured on the actual voyage, and on that basis I recommend it highly, now where are my sea sickness pills.

This dvd was brilliant. Well worth watching.

Ellen Mcarthur - A legend - A brilliant documentary which stirs pretty much every emotion there is - definitely worth watching ...

I had heard good things about this, but even so was surprised how impressive it was. All the former crew members came across really well. No histrionics, they let their performance in the race speak for itself.

Fantastic film.

DVD would not play in Australia :(

A pure joy to watch this film

Extraordinaire épopée que ce groupe de jeunes femmes qui montent en 1984 le premier équipage 100% féminin pour courir un tour du monde à la voile dans une des courses les plus exigeantes : la white bread. On ressort de ce film inspirant avec un énorme sourire. A faire voir à toutes les jeunes filles qui doutent de leur capacité. Vivement que la version française soit disponible.

Problematic, rambunctious little girl turns into a determined and skillful sailor who recruits the first all-woman crew to sail the Whitbred around-the-world race, finds and renews a large sailboat and (satisfyingly) surprises and humbles male sailors and commentators who didn't think women could do this. Inspiring, delightful, a great watch. I've watched it four or five times and given it to all my goddaughters -- and I'm a guy.

There is so much to learn in this documentary about perseverance in the face of the culture war against women at the time. And the actual women telling their story looking at the past makes it so unique. This is a story that inspires me.
