Default Yet another rescue

This seems to be the season. There was another rescue off
Massachusetts a few days ago.

Here's the fullest report, from the home town of the sailors:

The Coast Guard took some videos, though you can't see much:

The vessel, La Bella, is only described as a 35 foot sloop. It had
been purchased a month before and the new British owner was taking it
from New Jersey to Bermuda. The keel was reported as "breaking
apart" which sounds like a loose keel bolt, perhaps. The EPIRB which
saved them was a last minute addition and was registered only hours
before it was used.
