'Very optimistic' to find missing yachtsman
Konrad Broger, crewman aboard the yacht Malisi which is searching the Atlantic for four missing British sailors, said that weather conditions are good and he hopes the men are found alive.
“It feels pretty good right now, we are getting support from the air. Yesterday night there was an aircraft, Canadian Air Force fly above us and it felt pretty good. A few cargo boats stopped their merchant routes and started searching as well. There is a lot going on here, we see a lot of vessels. The mood is really good and we hope we can find those fellas", said Mr Broger.
The four man British crew, who were sailing back to the UK from a regatta in Antigua, haven't been heard from since last Friday.
