Across the World: Netherlands

Fold your sails, kid

A Dutch court ordered authorities to take temporary guardianship of a 13-year-old girl yesterday, delaying her plan to sail solo around the world until psychologists can assess her capacity to undertake such a risky voyage. Judges said Laura Dekker would face both mental and physical risks if she were allowed to go ahead with the two-year trip in her 26-foot (8-meter) boat named Guppy.
