Youngest solo sailor, around the world at 16 | Laura Dekker | TEDxYouth@Auckland
Description:

At 16 years old, Laura Dekker became the youngest sailor to circumnavigate the globe single-handedly. During her 518-day voyage, Laura took on six-meter-high waves, extreme weather, dangerous reefs, disturbed sleep, cramped living conditions, food rationing, and absolute solitude. She also kept up with her schoolwork. She talks about her journey and encourages all of us to follow our dreams.
