TEXTO:

Record blow for teenage sailor

 

 

    A 16-year-old Australian girl is nearly home after

sailing around the world. But she may not have sailed

far enough to get the record as the youngest person to

make the journey.

5    After more than six months at sea Jessica Watson

is in the final stretch of her epic voyage around the globe.

She’s hoping to reach Sydney Harbor later this month a

couple of days shy of her seventeenth birthday.

    But although there’s no question that she’s

10 circumnavigated the globe, sailing experts say she hasn’t

gone far enough to claim the record of being the youngest

person to sail solo non-stop and unassisted around the

world.

    The influential Sail World website has praised her heroic

15 achievement but is a stickler for the rules of what it calls

“true circumnavigation”. To have achieved that, it says, 

the teenager should have sailed much farther north into

the Atlantic to a point in line with France, rather than

simply crossing the Equator and then returning south.

20    “We don’t want to take away from what the kid’s

done,” said the editor of the website “but it’s one thing to

be a hero and another to be a record holder. Had she

sailed three thousand seven hundred kilometers further

she could have made that boast.”
