Teen ends solo sailing quest

A 16-YEAR-OLD US girl attempting to sail solo around the world ended her quest to become the youngest to make the trip nonstop and will head to South Africa for boat repairs.

Abby Sunderland wrote on her blog that it would be “foolish and irresponsible” to keep going after losing use of her boat’s main autopilot.

She expects to land in Cape Town in about two weeks.
