The 14-year-old, the youngest person to sail across the Atlantic single-handed

well I would have to be with him!. My kids were hardly out of my site but I would be up for the sailing

Yes, definitely a great achievement and that too at such an young age and he should get all the encouragement and support by peopel as sometimes these talents will be wasted without getting supports from his own people isn't it? these day's younger age people do come up with many achievements as they are given enough opportunities and also required facilities as well...isn't it?

No, I would not. I could die from heart attack. In other hand, I admire this young boy.

I think it's great that he can do it and just shows that kids are remarkable. Now that being said would I let my child do that? No way on this green earth would I. Sorry I'd be too worried and it wouldn't matter if he was 14 or 17 or 107, I'd still be scared but once he's 18 I wouldn't have a say in the matter. It is a very dangerous journey and anything can happen. I wish him luck in doing it and I hope he finishes. I just can't picture a parent allowing it.

He is just one brave kid. I hope he can really make it. WIsh him good luck and Godspeed.

that sounds like something the parents would be proud of him for doing that, but i am sure they would be worry too, speicaly you talking about crossing the sea, who alot of people drown from, so i am sure he is happy when he accomplished it, good for him

As long as there is no danger in the water, I don't see why not.

If you want your teenager to excel then there is no other option but to allow.Because of protective attitude of parents sometimes very talented persons fail to blossom.

Wow thats great.Personally I wouldn't even think about even flying at all.

wow i he suceed it will be surely a great achievement especially that he is only 14 years old. Well i hope we can do it :)
