The enthusiasm and attitude towards ‘helping others’ was definitely felt within the marina, especially on MAIDEN’s departure day, when a press conference was held within Grand Harbour Marina welcoming supporting press and Maltese officials. Her excellency, President of the Republic of Malta, Marie Louise Coleiro Preca who endorsed the Maiden Factor stated, “This is more than just a passion for sailing. Two years at sea is a brave commitment and takes courage to stand up for the inequalities. This event could not have come at a better time with the United Nations commemorating it’s 70th Anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights.”

Nikki Henderson, Captain of Maiden stated, ”From the moment we arrived at Grand Harbour Marina, to the moment we left, it has been an absolute dream two weeks. Thank you to the fabulous team and brilliant facilities which have made our lives so much easier on the first leg of our epic tour!”
