Crippled sailboat towed to Honolulu
Coast Guard personnel escorted the crew of the imperiled sailing vessel Honey Cutter to Honolulu on Saturday, ending a three-day, 450-mile rescue effort involving a Navy aircraft and two other vessels.
The Honey Cutter’s two-man crew signaled for help on Wednesday morning after the 36-foot vessel’s keel broke and it began taking on water.
Coast Guard officials contacted a Navy P-3 Orion crew based on Oahu as well as the crew of the Capt. Kenneth, which was 80 miles from the Honey Cutter.
The Orion crew flew to the Honey Cutter and remained until the Capt. Kenneth arrived to tow the vessel. A second boat, the Galveston Island, relieved the Capt. Kenneth on Thursday.
A Coast Guard response boat escorted the Honey Cutter, which was able to use its own auxiliary power, on the last leg back to Honolulu.
