I have previously stated that the World Sailing Speed Record Council (WSSRC) would ratify my circumnavigation attempt. With all the people lately attempting to be the youngest to circumnavigate the WSSRC has released the following statment.

We concentrate on speed record attempts and claims, and no longer recognize “human condition” categories which can expand to such an extent that almost anyone would be able to claim a record of some sort. The other issue is that whilst we can clearly monitor and ratify “speed/time” records – at which
we have become rather expert – the verification of age/disability/marital status, etc. is a less exact science.

This quote was reprinted from Scuttlebutt 2915. I have also investigated Guinness World Records and their rules do not provide for records amongst disability groups. I am weighing my options of organizations to ratify the record and will keep everyone updated on the findings.
