THE US Coast Guard in Hawaii has rescued one British man and is searching for another Briton who fell overboard in a remote area of the Pacific.
The 35-year-old missing man was conscious and wearing a yellow life jacket when he went overboard about 800km west of the Midway Atoll, but he had not been found more than 15 hours later, Coast Guard spokesman Petty Officer Eric J. Chandler said.
Officials from the Marine Rescue Coordination Center Falmouth, United Kingdom, reported to the US Coast Guard in Hawaii on Saturday that a man from a 12-metre vessel had fallen overboard, and the one who remained aboard had little sailing experience.
The area nearly 3220km from Oahu was too remote to reach quickly by boat, and winds were reported at 40km/h with two metre-high seas.
The Coast Guard sent an HC-130 Hercules aeroplane from an Oahu air station, and the US Navy diverted the USS Peleliu, an amphibious assault ship to assist in the search.
Two Navy helicopters were sent to search from the Peleliu on Sunday. One of them found the boat, lowered a hoist and pulled the man in.
