In the early 1990s, Tracy Edwards and her all-female crew made history when they finished second in the Whitbread sailing race, proving that round-the-world yacht races weren't just for men.

Their boat 'Maiden' is now preparing for one final voyage with the most diverse professional sailing crew ever.

Sky News' Matthew Thompson caught up with them as they prepare to set sail.
