MIGHT NEED STRETCHER”, Golden Globe Race organisers said. Race organisers said an executive jet from Perth would reach the area of Tomy’s yacht, about 3,000km south-west of the city on Sunday. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority is coordinating the rescue, after Tomy’s yacht was damaged in a storm during the round-the-world race. Race organisers said a search and rescue plane and a Perth-based navy frigate would also help in the rescue. An Indian navy stealth frigate, operating in the Indian Ocean, has also been diverted for the rescue mission along with an Indian tanker and military plane, according to race organisers.
