PLEASE NOTE: THIS EDIT CONTAINS CONVERTED 4:3 MATERIAL
ROUGH CUT ONLY
The Coast Guard on Sunday (April 1) was conducting a rescue operation to aid four crew members from the Geraldton Western Australia who were injured when a big wave struck the yacht hundreds of miles west of San Francisco during an around-the-world race.
The Cutter Bertholf and a helicopter were sent to assist the sailors after the wave hit the yacht on Saturday (March 31), disabling its main steering and injuring four of the 13 crew members on board, the Coast Guard and race officials said.
The Coast Guard said weather thwarted attempts on Saturday evening to drop parajumpers to the yacht. A long-range Coast Guard HC-130 dropped medical supplies to the vessel.
The yacht is one of 10 boats competing in the Clipper 11-12 Round the World Yacht Race that started in the United Kingdom. It was sailing to San Francisco from China.
