Sailor
Laura Dekker
Dutch sailor who circumnavigated alone as a teenager.
Laura Dekker is a Dutch sailor. In 2009, she announced her plan to become the youngest person to circumnavigate the globe single-handed. A Dutch court stepped in, owing to the objections of the local authorities, and prevented Laura from departing while under shared custody of both her parents. In July 2010, a Dutch family court ended this custody arrangement, and the record-breaking attempt finally began on 21 August 2010. Dekker successfully completed the solo circumnavigation in a 12.4-metre (40 ft) two-masted ketch named Guppy, arriving in Simpson Bay, Sint Maarten, 518 days later at the age of 16.

Laura Dekker is alive, so there is one chart here rather than two. The death chart is cast for a documented moment of death and there is nothing to cast one for, which is the point: this site does not estimate either end.
