lack of experience for a 16 y.o. isn't this case, as it is in a new
driver at 16 y.o. she has been sailing for at least 10 years and has
the experience.

comparing her to a driver with 10 years of driving experience would
be comparable.

And after 10 years of driving everybody has all the experience they'll
ever need and have absolutely nothing else to learn?

If that's true, then tell me how two people over 30 with 10+ years of
driving experience can get into a car accident with each other? By
your standards, the accident should never have happened. Explain that
to me please.

it's either called an accident, or neglicence on one or the other's part.

given that statement, then no one should never go out in a boat since they
would never have enough experience.

we're not comparing 2 30 year olds against each other in this case. you're
asking about the insurance company statistics of comparing people with
similar years of experience at their individual tasks. i doubt that a person
sailing in mid ocean is going to collide with someone driving.
