 Laura Dekker 16 year old sailor completes circumnavigation on 1/21/12Born on a boat in the port of Whangarei New Zealand, from a young age Laura Dekker has dreamed of sailing. When she was six she sailed her Optimist dinghy across the lake where she lived. As she grew older, she wanted to go further. – too far for some. She had already sailed her previous boat Guppy twice to Friesland, when on a six week holiday only 10 years old, and so she decided to pursue her dream far beyond local mudflats and waters. On January 21, 2012 Laura completed her circumnavigation becoming the youngest sailor ever to circle to globe. |
