Laura Dekker, a 16-year-old Dutch sailor has become the youngest person ever to single-handedly circumnavigate the globe. She set sail from St Maarten on 20 January last year and arrived the Caribbean island of St Maarten on Saturday 21st January 2012 aboard her 38ft boat, Guppy. In another twist, the Guinness Book of record has refused to recognise her and any other teenager who follows such a risky adventure in order to discourage other teenagers from engaging in such dangerous acts.
