Search Resumes For British Yachtsmen
The US Coastguard is to resume its search for four British yachtsmen who went missing after their boat capsized in the Atlantic on Friday.
A search for the missing Cheeki Rafiki was called off after 53 hours. However, the US Coast Guard confirmed it had begun searching again after an online petition gathered 200,000 signatures.
David Cameron tweeted: "My thanks to the US Coastguard, which has resumed its search for our missing yachtsmen."
The families believe the four men, Andrew Bridge, Steve Warren, James Male and Paul Goslin, would have had time to escape on a life raft.
