“HONOLULU— The Coast Guard responded to a dismasted sailboat off Honolulu..
A Station Honolulu 45-foot Response Boat-Medium crew is currently towing the dismasted sailboat back to Ala Wai Boat Harbor…
Shortly after at 3:30 p.m., Sector Honolulu watchstanders received a distress call on VHF-FM Channel 16 from the crew of a 38-foot sailboat dismasted and disabled off Honolulu. A Station Honolulu RB-M crew deployed in response to the incident. The responders were able to assist the mariners to recover the mast and put the sailboat in tow.
The weather at the time the cases was reportedly winds of 15-mph and seas to 5-feet.
