We’ve had a couple of 17-yo boys circumnavigate very recently, but I wonder if a 13-yo girl (or boy) is mature enough for that type of stress.

Someone needs a psychologist to tell them that it's crazy to let a 13 year-old try to circumnavigate the world in a sailboat - solo? They understand that 13 is the number that comes immediately after "12", right?
Apparently, no one in the Dutch judicial system has ever raised a 13 year-old.

It’s crazy and stupid. But by what authority is any government stopping her? What law is being broken if her parents say it’s okay?

She can still solo around the world even if her parent’s boat is within sight.
