The Royal Australian Navy rescued two French yachtsmen last night whose yacht had sunk 360 miles east of Jervis Bay. The yachtsmen were winched from a small boat by a Navy Seahawk helicopter after they abandoned their yacht when it sunk in rough conditions earlier.
The sailors were returned to the Navy frigate HMAS Perth where they remained overnight before being landed ashore in Jervis Bay. The sailors are in a satisfactory condition after suffering mild hyperthermia.
