A yachtie had to be pulled from the ocean around 60 nautical miles off the coast of Hawke's Bay this morning, after they got into trouble in rough conditions. The Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand coordination a complex rescue of the solo sailor. It began after they activated their EPIRB at about 5.30 pm yesterday (29 March). He was eventually extracted from his vessel at about 10 am this morning (30 March). The sailor was on-board a 10 metre sloop. Late in the afternoon the vessel rolled, the sailor then activated their locator beacon.
