DaimlerChrysler North Atlantic Challenge - Monsun crew safe


Author: Dana Paxton

The six crew members of the 46-foot German yacht Monsun were all rescued safely from their liferaft by a ship today after they abandoned their yacht in heavy seas south of Newfoundland, Canada. The effort was coordinated by the U.S. Coast Guard Rescue Coordination Center, in Norfolk, Va. A Canadian Coast Guard C-130 Search and Rescue aircraft assisted.

The Monsun, owned by Peter Flьgge, is a cruising ketch taking part in the DaimlerChrysler North Atlantic Challenge in which a fleet of 58 yachts is presently sailing from Newport, Rhode Island to Cuxhaven and Hamburg, Germany. Other yachts in the race went to the aid of Monsun and assisted
with communications.
