The yacht achieved good results and broke records, leading to Edwards becoming the first female winner of the Yachtsman of the Year Trophy, changing the perception of women in ocean racing.

After a major refit, the boat set off on a global voyage in 2018 to raise funds and awareness for girls' education under the foundation "The Maiden Factor".

In 2018, a documentary titled Maiden was made about Edwards and the crew competing in the race; its first showing was at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival.

She was renamed Stabilo Boss for the 1986–87 BOC single-handed challenge, and came seventh, skippered by South African Bertie Reed.

Edwards remortgaged her house to buy the boat, and was supported by King Hussein of Jordan and sponsorship from Royal Jordanian Airlines.

In 1996/97 she was chartered by Stuart Bowen Davies and skippered by John Bankart and was successfully campaigned in the Hong Kong Round the World yacht Race which was organized by Jimmy Cornell.

[23] Maiden was re-launched in the summer of 2018 and in September 2018 departed from Southampton Boat Show with a new crew of women, to prepare for a three-year world tour on behalf of the charity "The Maiden Factor Foundation", which was set up by Edwards with the support of the late King Hussein of Jordan's daughter, Princess Haya.

"[34] After a shakedown voyage from Dubai and passing through the Suez Canel, in March 2022 Maiden was in Palma, Majorca, a maintenance stop on the first leg of the new tour, this time for three years, first crossing the Atlantic to Miami, Florida.

In partnership with DP World, the Tour sees a resumption of fundraising and an emphasis on education for females, particularly in STEM subjects.
