It was a lucky rescue for two men onboard a 50-foot yacht in distress off the east coast of Marlborough last night.
Police were alerted just after 8pm by one of the men onboard the ex-fishing trawler, which had lost power in big swells.
A search and rescue operation was launched in conjunction with Maritime NZ.
The vessel’s lifejackets had been lost overboard in the swell. Police search and rescue co-ordinator Senior Sergeant Peter Payne says the potential was there for the situation to end very badly.
