The only sailor on board reported that he was uninjured, but the boat had lost its main sail and he was unable to make way. The "Bishu Highway" was unable to rescue the sailor due to a 50-foot height of the hull above water, but was able to stay on scene until the "Athina L" could assist. The "Athina L" arrived on scene at approximately 5 a.m. on Nov 5 and safely rescued the sailor.
