Teenager attempts to become youngest round-the-world yachtsman

Plucky teenager George Osborne set sail from Westminster on Saturday in a bid to become the youngest person to sail solo around Corfu. George, 16, was waved off by scores of family, friends and other well-wishers as he began the gruelling voyage. The young yachtsman said he was nervous, excited and "a little crazy" to do what he was doing at his age. His best friend, Dave Cameron, 16½, said the Conservative Party would really miss him. "Piss off, George," he said, waving happily. "Don't come back," he added.
