The Japan Coast Guard is continuing to search for four Americans reported missing Sunday near the Okinawa prefectural island of Ishigaki after their yacht encountered battering winds and crushing waves from Typhoon Jangmi, a Japanese official said Monday.
The four men were sailing from Malaysia to Okinawa aboard the 66-foot yacht Jade Princess on Sunday, when they sent out a radio distress signal at 11:06 a.m., said Takamichi Higa, Japan Coast Guard spokesman in Naha.
Rescue planes spotted the Jade Princess’ emergency locator radio transmitter and debris believed to be part of the yacht about 38 miles northwest from where the initial distress signal originated, Higa said.
The Japan Coast Guard said it had received reports that the yacht may have been equipped with a rescue raft, Higa said.
"The raft has yet to be found," he said. "In finding the raft, we keep our hope, slim as it may be."
