Over the years, children have done unusual things, such as flying a plane at the age of seven. Abby Sunderland had attempted to sail around the world solo at the age of sixteen. While she was sailing, she got caught in a storm and sent an emergency signal to rescue her. This caused a controversy among the media on whether Abby was too young to sail. Abby was fully capable of sailing the world solo mainly because of her legal rights, as well as her experience and passion.
Since there was no standard age to sail alone, Abby was legally able to do so.
According to U.S. sailing laws, no person or organization interested in sailing or any activity related thereto may be denied membership for any reason except misconduct or non-payment of dues.
