Article Abstract:

Subaru Takahashi of Japan, age 14, recently became the youngest known person to cross the Pacific alone. On Sep 29, 1996 Brian Caldwell, 20-year-old, completed a 16-mo circumnavigation feat. A 17-year-old Australian is on the final leg of such a journey. Some wonder if youths should be allowed to do this.
