The U.S. Coast Guard was searching Saturday for six regatta competitors in the Gulf of Mexico after the boat they were sailing was found capsized.
The emergency contact person for the 38-foot Cynthia Woods called the Coast Guard after communication with the boat was lost around midnight Friday and the boat missed an 8 a.m. radio check, authorities said.
The boat was competing in the 40th annual Regata de Amigos. The race, which covers 610 nautical miles from Galveston to Veracruz, Mexico, started Friday and continues into next week.
The crew included four college students and two safety officers, Texas A&M at Galveston said in a news release
