From birth she was destined to be a sailor…
After Laura Dekker was born she immediately lived on a boat off the coast of New Zealand and just 16 years later she earned the title of the youngest round-the-world sailor.
But not without some rough waters.
At age 13, Laura had plans to become the youngest person to circumnavigate the globe, but Dutch authorities stepped in and prevented her from departing. Two years later in July 2010, the legal feud ended and Laura set sail on August 21st, 2010.
After 519 days at sea, Laura successfully completed the solo circumnavigation on January 21st, 2012.
