I received additional info on three people being rescued from a 45' private yacht ENCHANTMENT. Holland America Lines ms STATENDAM responded to a U.S. Coast Guard request to alter course and assist the above yacht. All three male passengers were transferred safely to the STATENDAM. No names of the rescued given but all in good spirits. There were 25' seas. The brand of vessel was not specified. The ENCHANTMENT was registered in Newport, CA and on her maiden voyage to Honolulu. Anyone know who this is?

450 down ?
I checked the USCG documented vessel list for Enchantment. 9 boats listed but none a Hunter 450. The boat might not be documented, but I would doubt that size boat would be out of US waters and would only have a state registration. But you never can tell. Len Fagan

I searched the current U. S. Coast Guard Vessel Search site and came up with 12 ENCHANTMENT, however the latest build date was one vessel in 1999. http://pisx.uscg.mil/PSIX2/VesselSummary.asp

David, You are correct. However, none of the boats have a Hunter hull number or fit the size. Len Fagan

Gentleman, I emailed the USCG 11th Distric and then spoke with USCG Petty Officer Veronica Bandrowsky personally. I described the situation and she got back to me an hour later with the following email. Although written moreso about the cruiseship itinerary it does give names of the sailors. What seems to remain is a contact to Jim Bartch to determine if these were in fact his delivery crew. I may attempt to do so over the weekend and will provide info if available. This info is very interesting to me as I plan my involvment in the Singlehanded Transpac for 2004. I am just beginning my series of events culminating in this endeavour. Assuming this is the Hunter 450, I want to make sure I don't repeat whatever mistake they made if preventable. Truly, being out there this time of the year is concerning in itself. However 25 foot seas are not something that should cause this boat to founder.

Holland America Line spokeswoman Rose Abello said the rescue caused the Statendam to lose a day of sailing toward Hawai'i and the decision was made to drop Wednesday's call to Moloka'i because of the uncertainties of the weather and the port. "It's disappointing,'' Abello said. "We have a long history of successfully getting into the other ports. Based on what happened on (Dec. 28), when we were unable to get into the (Moloka'i) port, we wanted to reduce the chances of being turned away because of the weather.'' The decision averted another showdown with Moloka'i residents who don't want cruise ships to stop on the Friendly Isle, fearing damage to environmental and cultural resources. Abello said the next scheduled stop to Moloka'i, on April 15, remains on the ship's itinerary. More than 150 people demonstrated against the Statendam's initial scheduled visit, but windy weather prompted a decision to avoid the risk of shuttling passengers into Kaunakakai Harbor in choppy seas and instead bypass the island. Colette Machado, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs trustee who helped to organize the protests, said she was happy the Statendam wouldn't be making its call on Wednesday. "I don't know what we're going to do with our new shirts, banners and signs,'' she said. "It's real interesting how things work out.'' Machado said the delay would allow foes to continue lobbying the Legislature and the Hawai'i Tourism Authority for tougher cruise ship regulations. The rescue took place after the Coast Guard received a distress signal from a 45-foot private yacht, the Enchantment from Newport, Calif., early yesterday and sent a C-130 search plane northwest of the islands, said Tyler Johnson, Coast Guard chief petty officer. The boat was located 1,000 miles northwest of Hawai'i at 12:35 p.m., and the Statendam, which was cruising in the region, was asked to alter its course to pick up the three men, who had abandoned ship into a smaller sailboat, Johnson said. The cruise ship found the men at 4:27 p.m. in 25-foot seas. All three passengers, one of whom was a diabetic without medication, were safely transferred to the Statendam without incident and were being treated on board, officials said. The men are captain Terry Tupper, 57, William McQuistin, 52, and James Casey, 45, the Coast Guard said. "We are extremely proud of the seamanship of the officers and crew of the ms Statendam," Stein Kruse, Holland America's senior vice president of fleet operations said in a statement. "The three gentlemen are in good spirits. They will sail with the ship to Honolulu.'' The 720-foot ms Statendam, a luxury cruise liner, carries 1,258 passengers and 560 crew. The Enchantment was on its maiden voyage from California to Honolulu. The Statendam, which left San Diego on Tuesday, originally was scheduled to call in Hilo, Honolulu, Nawiliwli on Kaua'i, Kaunakakai, Lahaina and Kona before sailing back to San Diego, arriving on Jan. 30. The ship will now call in Honolulu Jan. 20, Nawiliwli Jan. 21; Lahaina Jan. 22, Kona Jan. 23 and Hilo Jan. 24. "Although we will have guests disappointed about the missed call to Moloka'i, we are certain that they understand the need for this schedule change," David A. Giersdorf, Holland America's senior vice president for marketing and sales, said in a statement.
