RCCNZ was able to speak to the crew via satellite phone and confirm that all on board the French trimaran Groupama III are uninjured. All were dressed in survival gear when they were picked up form the yacht’s hull.
The yacht was taking part in the Jules Verne Round the World Yacht Race when it overturned.
Weather in the area consists of 2m swells and south-westerly winds of 30 knots.
More information will be made available as and when it becomes available.
