Coast Guard Hoists Mariner from Disabled PORTO Off Chatham
A Coast Guard MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew from Air Station Cape Cod hoisted the sole mariner from the disabled sailing vessel PORTO about 255 miles southeast of Chatham, Massachusetts, on Nov. 21, 2024. The Coast Guard launched the MH-60 and an HC-144 Ocean Sentry aircraft after PORTO reported loss of rudder control and engine while carrying no survival gear and only a handheld VHF radio for communication. The nearby sailing vessel Life of Reily III stayed on scene and maintained contact with the mariner until Coast Guard crews arrived. The MH-60 crew transported the mariner safely to Hyannis Regional Airport.
