Cruise ship located abandoned German yacht

After leaving Bermuda, the 'Insignia' encountered a sailing vessel which was suspected to be abandoned approximately 50 miles off Bermuda on July, 10 at 6:25 p.m. 50 miles North North West of Bermuda. The vessel showed signs of damage and the sails were poorly set, the name s/y 'Uplace' (MMSI: 211795350) was broadcast on AIS. The passing m/v 'Genoa' was tasked with investigating the 'Uplace' further to establish if there is anyone onboard. Further research found the 36 ft German registered sailing vessel had been reported on a few occasions since the crew abandoned to a U.S Coast Guard helicopter in April. A Notice to Mariners was issued regarding the floating hazard.
