Ships asked to signal yacht

AN AIR and sea search is continuing off the Irish Coast for the missing 32ft yacht which was due to arrive into Cork six days ago but cannot be contacted.

The Golden Eagle, which had two men on board, has not been heard from since it left Bermuda on August 21.

The Bermuda Coast Guard has said the yacht would have been sailing through an area of the Atlantic where the tail end of Hurricane Katia was still active.
