On Friday morning, two good samaritan vessels worked together to rescue two British mariners from a disabled sailing yacht about 520 nm off the coast of Bermuda.
Watchstanders at the Fifth U.S. Coast Guard District command center received a call from the Rescue Coordination Center United Kingdom early Wednesday morning. The UK authorities reported that a 39-foot sailboat had become disabled off Bermuda due to a broken steering box. Two sailors were on board.
