A fundraising event to support the Maiden Factor’s mission to help educate and train young people around the world will be held on Tuesday, August 16, from 6 to 9 PM at the Baker House 1650 in East Hampton.
The event offers a chance to meet an inspiring crew in the history of sailing. Meet Tracy Edwards, the skipper of “The Maiden” who spearheaded the first all-female yachting crew in the Whitbread Round the World Race in 1989.
The event is sponsored by Westport Yachts, Marina Coast Peru, The Hamptons Film Festival, The International Seakeepers Society, and the owner of Vintage Yacht Kingfisher.
The auction will include a private yacht tour on the Kingfisher Yacht and a unique opportunity to add your name on the hull of the Maiden.
Tickets are available for purchase for $75. Visit eventbrite.com.
