British teen becomes youngest circumnavigator

Barely six weeks after 17-year-old Californian Zac Sunderland set the record for the youngest solo circumnavigator, Michael Perham, a 17-year old from Potters Bar in the UK has broken the record again.  Perham is a few months younger than Sunderland, but his record may not stand long.  Three teenage girls, one of them Sunderland's sister, are all preparing bids to break the record again.
