Love to know the back-story to this incident.
10m yacht 60nm off Cape Kidnappers
7m seas and apparently got rolled. I wonder if that is an MSM rolled, or an actual sailor's rolled?
A solo sailor has been rescued after spending 17 hours in large swells of up to 7 metres overnight.
Maritime New Zealand said it was a “complex rescue”, requiring co-ordinating nearby vessels to respond in very heavy swells.
The yachtie was onboard a 10-metre sloop which was damaged after it rolled in rough seas near Cape Kidnappers in Hawke's Bay on Wednesday.
He made a distress call, activating his locator beacon about 5.30pm, Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand duty manager Lyle Patterson said.
