As far as that family is concerned, without reading anything about their background, it sounds like a rich family trying to get their name in the history books by using their kids.
With your knowledge of sailing, I'm sure you know how difficult it is for an adult to navigate in bad weather. Imagine a 16 year old kid trying to do it regardless of training. It sounds like their plan was, 'You get in trouble, sail for the nearest port". I hope they also prepared her on how to get OUT of that trouble so she can actually get to the nearest port.
