The reportedly British-flagged 58-foot sailing vessel Image sits 20 miles off the coast of Florence, Ore., after its mast broke while the crew was on their way from Canada to Tahiti, March 21, 2015. An MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew from Coast Guard Air Facility Newport arrived on scene and monitored the vessel as the crew detached the mast and regained propulsion under their own motor power.
