A US/Canadian Coastguard search has been called off, for a crew of four British citizens missing at sea after their yacht capsized mid-Atlantic, having diverted to the Azores. The last contact with the crew was in the early hours of Friday May 16th, as their vessel was taking on water for reasons not known.
An upturned hull and liferaft were sighted, but it's not known if they belonged to the missing yacht, Cheeki Rafiki.
Families are upset as they say the crew are highly experienced and have food and water supplies to last for an extended period. But US Coastguard Rob Simpson says a two-day search of over 4000 miles has found no trace of the yacht or crew.
Missing are:
Andrew Bridge, 21
Steve Warren, 56
James Male, 23
Paul Goslin, 56
