Patriot disembarked saved yachtsman at Fremantle
A solo yachtsman who had to be rescued by the "Patriot" after his boat's mast was struck down in heavy weather off the coast of Perth has arrived safely in Fremantle in the evening of Nov 20. The man was believed to be in good health. The man had been in the middle of an around-the-world trip when he ran into trouble around 2100 km west of Perth. He activated an emergency signalling device, which was relayed to a US emergency response centre and then to the Australian Maritime Safety Authority. A broadcast was sent out to ships in the area, and was eventually answered by the "Patriot". The ship changed its course in order to pick-up the stranded yachtsman, and a Falcon 900 jet aircraft was dispatched from Perth to aid in the search. The sailor was picked up on Nov 17 at around 1.20 p.m. and arrived at the Patrick Terminals Fremantle on Nov 20 at 8 p.m. The yacht has been left at sea.
