Four Wellington sailors, all well‑known businessmen, stranded in their damaged yacht off the coast of Fiji this morning, have been found safe.
The New Zealand Air Force P‑3K2 Orion aircraft found the damaged yacht beached on the reef at Tuvana‑I‑Ra atoll approximately 425 kilometres southeast of Suva.
New Zealand Defence Force Air Commodore Darryn Webb says the yacht’s four crew members had abandoned the yacht and are safe and well on the atoll.
