Minor changes[edit]

I clarified a couple of points in the draft version that were incorrect in the stable one. Specifically, it stated that she "had managed to upright her boat", which is incorrect, as the boat is self-righting so long as the keel remains attached, and thus she would not have played a role there; the text states "she had to give up going for the record", which is also incorrect, as she was still in the running for the youngest assisted solo circumnavigation record, previously held by Michael Perham; and "Zac had set a record when he sailed solo around the world", as Zac's attempt was not recognised by the official bodies (Guinness and the WSSRC), although Guinness did recognise Perham's circumnavigation later that year. - Bilby (talk) 01:22, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
