Heading for Cape Horn was sighted by a Navy airplane British yacht Challenger, some 180 miles south of Evangelistas lighthouse.
For a moment it was thought the vessel had have an accident, when a satellite buoy the ship carries in case of emergency was activated and started sending its signal after falling off to sea in the middle of a storm, about 230 miles southwest of Evangelistas lighthouse.
The Navy mobilized its means until stating the yacht was sailing with its crew of 13 in his route to Cape Horn.
All of them are all right taking part on a sea race which ends on Montevideo port, Uruguay.
