Dutch teenager sails into the record books, unofficially

A YEAR and a day after she set out to sail single-handed around the globe, Dutch teenager Laura Dekker has broken the unofficial record set by Australia’s Jessica Watson in 2010 to become the youngest person ever to sail solo around the world.
Dekker, who is 16 years and four months old, has cut six months off the unofficial record set by Watson, who was days shy of her 17th birthday when she completed a non-stop voyage.
