I for one have no idea what you are talking about...

Any chance of asking your question more clearly?

Does this refer to the BT Global Challenge where a woman captain won the first leg from Southampton to Boston???

Here is a song about a female captain: The Rainbow, as sung by Martin Carthy. And it has a coupla "broadside"s in it too!

Like Gary, I'm assuming that this is The Rainbow, which is in the DT as  As We Were A Sailing  I haven't seen a more complete version than either of these, though.

Brought to mind a funny story. In Cancun, I was on a half submersible tour boat. The bottom was glass and you could see everything on the floor of the ocean.
The captain was a stunningly beautiful young woman with long hair and a tiny bikini. Her mate went overboard to feed fish and attract them to the boat. She stayed at the helm while we all went below to look at the sights. One of the passengers - a newly wed young man who was painfully shy - was convinced to take his waterproof camera topside. The plan was to throw it to the diver and have him photograph the couple in the boat underwater. He came scurrying back camera in hand and red as a beet. It seems the captain was sun bathing in the nude and he tripped over her.
