Is thirteen too young to sail solo around the world?

Is thirteen too young to sail solo around the world? "13 year old Laura Dekker spent Monday in court asking judges, Dutch education and child protection officials to allow her to start sailing her boat Guppy around the world starting September 1. 'My parents always knew it was a dream of mine to do this. And I want to do it while I'm still young, so I can break the record,' she said. Judges are scheduled to rule on the case Wednesday."
