FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Three crew members were found dead and another was missing after a 37-foot sailboat disappeared during the annual sailing race from Newport Beach, Calif., to Ensenada, Mexico, the Coast Guard said late Saturday.
The sailboat Aegean had been reported missing Saturday morning near the Coronado Islands, just south of the border, Coast Guard spokesman Henry G. Dunphy said in a news release.
Dunphy said vessels near the Coronados reported seeing debris at about 10 a.m. and three sailors were found dead in the afternoon. One body was recovered by a Coast Guard helicopter and two others by a civilian crew.
Dunphy said race officials reported the Aegean missing about 11:40 a.m. The Associated Press reported that the Aegean’s home port was Redondo Beach. The names of the crew were not released.
The cause of the incident was unclear.
The 125-mile race, organized by the Newport Ocean Sailing Association, began at 11 a.m. Friday off the Balboa Pier in Newport Beach. The race crosses heavy shipping lanes off San Diego, and only a relative few boats can finish before darkness the first night.
More than 200 boats had entered the race as of Wednesday, though it was unclear how many started.

Some boats can finish the race in less than 12 hours, but others can take up to two days.
The incident comes two weeks after an accident during a race from San Francisco to the Farallon Islands left five sailors dead.
