Concept and creative process
‘Maiden Voyage’ was a documentary which covered the 1989 Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race which featured for the very first time an all-female crew under the captaincy of Tracy Edwards. Live action scenes mixed through water spray wipes set the scene for an all-female Round the World Yacht Race. Christine Buttner’s specially designed series logo elegantly and simply combined the notions of the compass and the race’s route around the oceans of the world.
