You may have heard of Aussie Jessica Watson, the 16-year-old girl who is planning to go around alone in a pretty pink S&S 34.
But before the thing even started, she collided with a Chinese freighter off Australia's Gold Coast on Sept. 9.
Just bad luck? Maybe not, say inspectors from Maritime Safety Queensland. They cite her sloppy log keeping and speculate that she dozed off just prior to the collision.
Still, that's not stopping her attempt to one-up Zach Sunderland, the American lad who set the 'youngest' record recently. Also, Sir Richard lends his support, saying "she's not a baby anymore."
