1:20 – KPFA Feature: Earlier this month, the historic racing yacht Maiden arrived in the San Francisco Bay as part of its second tour around the world. The first tour was 30 years ago, in the Whitbread Round the World Race crewed by the first all-female sailing team. The race is now featured in a new documentary film – also called Maiden. The original crew raced for 9 months around the world, breaking records and gender stereotypes. Today, the Maiden is sailing around the world again, raising awareness and funds for girls education. UpFront producer Corinne Smith (@Cocoluces) reports from the Maiden in San Francisco.
