Dawn Riley was part of the first all female crews to compete in the Whitbread ‘round the world race in 1989-1990.
The story is documented in the movie “Maiden” which you may want to see before this event.

Dawn will fill in her bio/background with a video to bring everyone up to date from 1989 to 2021. She will of course talk about Maiden and answer any questions people had about the movie and then talk about her current project, Oakcliff and the future of sailing from Optis to the America’s Cup with an opinion on the Olympics thrown in. This should be a very entertaining presentation.

You can find more details on Dawn Riley and her work at Oakcliff Sailing.
