Emerlan, Emergencias y Rescate Lanzarote, has reported that on the afternoon of Sunday, April 17, they were alerted by Maritime Rescue about the problems a sailboat was experiencing south of Isla de Lobos.

The notice took place around 7:00 p.m. and at that time "a rescue boat is sent, which after searching the area located the sailboat, about 12 meters in length, with 9 crew members on board," they say from the NGO. Apparently, "it had suffered a mechanical failure that prevented it from continuing autonomous navigation," they add.
