Navy warship rescues stranded British sailors

Fourteen sailors have been rescued by the crew of a Royal Navy destroyer after they were stranded for 48 hours in the Atlantic. The Clyde Challenger yacht had left the Azores on 5 February and was heading for the UK when it lost its mast. HMS Dragon, a Type 45 destroyer, was on a routine deployment but was diverted 500 miles to save the crew of the 60ft racing yacht.
