Four Rescued From Sinking Sailboat In Richardson Bay

Posted: 11:58 pm PDT May 4, 2008

A good Samaritan plucked two adults and two children from the Richardson Bay Sunday morning after a sailboat sank near Sausalito, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.

The 25-foot sailing vessel went down just after 11 a.m. about one quarter mile from the shoreline, Coast Guard Petty Officer Matthew Henry reported.

All four occupants of the vessel were wearing life jackets and there were no reports of injuries, Henry said.

A good Samaritan who was on a nearby vessel helped pull the four from the water and a Coast Guard boat then responded and brought them back to shore, according to Henry.
