Technically speaking, is it still sailing solo with dad sailing 2 miles
behind him?
It's a great thing for a kid to do, and I'd do the same if it were my kid,
but it seems to detract from other teenagers who have actually done it
alone.

True, at least psychologically it's not the same as being alone. And others
just as young have done it before. You can't expect reporters to know the
history or do the research. They never do on anything.
