| A 14-year-old Dutch sailor has departed in secrecy from Gibraltar on her quest to become the youngest person to sail solo around the world - avoiding the media because, her manager said, she did not want the attention.
Laura Dekker was in good spirits on Saturday as she sailed her 11.5-metre boat, Guppy, from the British territory on the south-western tip of Spain, on a trip expected to last a year or more, her manager, Peter Klarenbeek, said.
The record attempt has been criticised by Dutch child-protection authorities, who questioned the wisdom of a child risking the voyage alone.
