In May of 1985 when Tania Aebi set sail from New York in a fiberglass variation on a Folkboat she was 18 years old, when she returned in November of 1987 she was the youngest person, and first woman, to have sailed around the world alone. Aebi was pressured into making the voyage by her father and had some rough patches emotionally during the voyage -- almost starving herself to death for a while -- but kept going and came out alright in the end. Her book is a Good Read.
Tania Aebi is still sailing and writing.
