I think it should be up to her parents whether she is allowed to make the attempt. If they approve and that is her wish why not let her? I think if any authorities should be involved it is the maritime safety authorities, to make sure the vessel is fully seaworthy and properly equipped, and to check that the girl has sufficient experience and competance in sailing, navigation, first aid etc.
