In the early hours of last Sunday morning, 84-year-old yachtsman Jacinto Rodriguez fell overboard from his yacht Duende 52 en route to Palma to compete in the Copa del Rey. The British yacht Seahawk, a 60-metre Perinin Navi on her way to Ibiza, heard the Mayday calls from Palma MRCC with regard to a man overboard at around 03.30, and the position given was about four hours down her track. The captain, Gerhard Veldsman, informed the next watch to keep a sharp lookout when reaching the area. All crew members who were awake at the time came on deck, and one of the stewardesses, Emma Ross, spotted the 84-year-old. His own crew had apparently lost complete contact with him and could not locate him.
