fan 69 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I took my wife and three kids on Friday. It was really good I think it truly shows the lack of respect they had going in and what an amazing job they did. I was a little surprised through that they did not go into anything about what happened after. There was very little footage of Dawn Riley and no mention that she went and did on AmeraSports2 or what Tracey did after. I was hoping they would have a little post mortem in the post credits. But yes I thought it was great everyone should go Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Clare was married to Frenchman Jacques Redon, who was also on the boat. Anyway that morning Clare's voice was somewhat hoarse, so she said, over the radio, live to the BBC, "I'm sorry, I've got a frog stuck in my throat." Major laughter from everyone within a thousand miles, and several cut-in radio comments of "Nice one, Jacques.." etc... from other yachts. Gold. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gcutter 29 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Our local arts cinema premiered it here in Norfolk, VA on Wednesday (24 July) with a big sailor crowd (200+) and introduction by KC Fullmer, former ODU sailing coach and now in charge of Sail Nauticus, our local community sailing organization. Great documentary on leading up to the race and the race itself, wrapped around a biography of Tracey Edwards who is a doppelganger for Dame Judy Dench. It was moving, plus great old sailing videos.

Join us for Maiden's Welcome Ceremony and Open Day at the Shilshole Bay Marina from 11AM-4PM. Maiden will be berthed at dock I, just west of the Marina Building, right next to the statue of Viking Leif “Lucky” Erikson. Meet the crew, including sailing legend Wendy Tuck, get a chance to stand at Maiden's helm (just like Tracy Edwards MBE!) on boat tours, and be inspired by tales of adventure and breaking barriers. https://www.facebook.com/events/353887072210920/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I saw it on opening night on Friday. My last fling before heading back to work. For the uninformed, Tampa Theater is a 1920s movie theater with an interior decor based on Mediterranean, Italian/French/Spanish/Moorish influences. The Theater is finishing up a round of restoration, so it is even more impressive to see. - Stumbling 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheDragon 575 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I happen to be traveling in the NW with my wife and we saw it in Portland at Cinema 21, I think the last showing on Friday night. Tiny theatre about half full of mostly older folks like us. Really interesting archival footage of an articulate young Tracy Edwards, and lots from Tracy and other crew today. I was disappointed at little coverage of other crew members beyond a few (perhaps they would not cooperate?), and I wanted more detail on the sailing itself. But thoroughly enjoyed it. Then on Tuesday went to see the refurbished boat (did not know the back story on this, pretty impressive by Tracy to rescue it and fix it up beautifully). Here's pics to prove it, me by the mast and my better half at the helm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

schessor 7 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 "Join us, Thursday, 4-6 to see the boat in Port Townsend and show our community support!! MAIDEN will arrive under the command of Wendy Tuck, first woman captain to WIN a round the world race (2018 Clipper RTW) and the all-woman The Maiden Factor crew. Watch for the boat to round Marrowstone Point anytime after 1500. Go out to greet her in your boat - row, power, sail, SUP - all are welcome! The Schooner Adventuress has generously offered to make room at the dock, so give a shout out to our friends about that ship, too! I will post updates here and answer questions. This is a free community event. Everyone is welcome!" https://www.facebook.com/events/479829776130426/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rail Meat 284 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 It was playing at Mystic Luxury Cinemas this weekend, saw it on Sunday. Loved the movie - inspirational in every way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
P_Wop 1,990 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I went to have a look at the boat today at the St Francis YC, and was invited aboard, and below for a poke around. The team have done an excellent job on the re-build, especially below where there's now a proper galley with fridges and freezers, and even two heads! And floorboards! No more walking in the bilge. The deck is much the same as before, except all the Lewmar gear has been replaced by Harken, and there's a good new carbon stick with swept spreaders, which means the runners have gone. What with the change to minimal-overlap headsails instead of the old 150% IOR ones, the boat will be very much easier to handle. Especially since the MCA (or some similar body) has limited them to carrying 9 crew now. And such a bright and engaging crew, on a mission. Hats off to them. They're leaving SF tomorrow for Los Angeles, so I'd expect ETA sometime late Tuesday. Go visit if you can. The schedule is on the website. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
view at the front 154 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 We saw it in Anacortes with quite a few other aging sailors last weekend. My wife was terrified, I shed a few tears, hearty laughs, inner uncommunicable insights, latent fears, and really loved the movie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

1sailor 46 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Saw it at the Lyric in Harbor Springs (MI) last week and it was really informative. As Fan said above, pretty surprising that Dawn didn't get more of a role in the film as I think she's generally viewed as a major player in that project coming together and certainly the female spokesperson for similar efforts in subsequent decades, anywhere in the sport of yacht racing. It's worth seeing for sure, if perhaps less about sailing than it may be about the challenges of overcoming a male-dominated sport and the rise of girl-power in an adverse environment. Truly enjoyed it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grinder 50 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Saw it tonight in a sold-out theater in the Chicago suburbs. Great story, great flick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How did the theater come to be sold out? Was it heavily promoted in your area? Was it the premiere showing? Just curious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slim 98 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Was going to go this past weekend - but it was sold out here too. I live in Marblehead though - lots of sailors and the theater is on the small side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

She doesn't sail, but was intrigued. Her non-sailing husband also got into it, it seems. She said it was at a local neighborhood theater that was packed. It had a decent downtown run and apparently is on it's second run around here. So, its got some legs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
