According to the rules set by World Speed Sailing Record Council:"[...]"
Her trip ticks all of those boxes so I dont see why they just wont give her the record.
I don't know if you've done it on purpose, but selecting *one* sentence out of the rules and using it to prove a point disproven by the rest of the paragraph this sentence is in is, I'm sorry to say, dishonest. You can't select the part of the rule you will abide to and reject the rest. Simply providing the complete rule is refutation enough of your claim:
a. RTW - Round the World, eastbound and westbound 21600NM. 2 separate records.
To sail around the World, a vessel must start from and return to the same point, must cross all meridians of longitude and must cross the Equator. It may cross some but not all meridians more than once (i.e. two roundings of Antarctica do not count). The shortest orthodromic track of the vessel must be at least 21,600 nautical miles in length calculated based on a 'perfect sphere'. In calculating this distance, it is to be assumed that the vessel will sail around Antarctica in latitude 63 degrees south.
A vessel starting from any point where the direct orthodromic distance is too short shall pass one single island or other fixed point on a required side so as to lengthen his orthodromic track to the minimum distance.
No starting point will be permitted more south than 45 ° south.
1 degree of longitude at 63 degrees south will be taken as 27.24NM
