The sheer stupidity of this is unimaginable, and since the governing
sailing bodies won't certify her results, why bother? *(I don't
believe a 17 year old girl will be able to pull of the standard
"because it was there" horse crap.)
I think our local newscaster with tow girls of his own said it best:

As records for 'The Youngest' keep being challenged, at some point in
the future it will have to be a 6-year old who sets sail.
And it'll be featured on the "Who Wants To Be a Masochist?" TV show!
(Next month will mark my 3rd happy year without the boob tube and my
22nd without cigs.)
