The dramatic rescue of a stranded sailor from a yacht caught adrift at sea has been captured in a series of images published by New Zealand's defence force today.
The boat had been in trouble off the coast of Great Barrier Island since Monday night when its anchor cable snapped. The yacht, with sailor on board, was grounded and then swept out to sea.
No air assets were able to reach the vessel at the time due to the severe weather," the NZ navy said in a statement on Tuesday. "After searching for the vessel overnight, Te Mana received new details about the location of the vessel after an emergency locator beacon was activated."
The sailor was pulled safely from the boat and on to Frigate HMNZS Te Mana by navy divers.
