The 38-foot sailboat Nyapa, reported that they had lost their mast and were taking on water. A HC-130 crew located the Nyapa and established communications. A crewmember aboard the Nyapa stated they had 4 people aboard and confirmed they lost their mast, but no one was injured and they were continuing south via motors and no longer needed assistance.

An EPIRB registered the sailboat Aurora alerted. Hercules crews searched the area but were unable to locate the boat. The crew of a nearby sailboat, the Dreamreach, responded to the Coast Guard's radio broadcasts inquiring the after Aurora, stating that they had been in contact with the vessel and that the Aurora was not in distress and were heading to Bermuda.

Sailboat Brave Heart contacted Sector North Carolina watchstanders, reporting a 67-year-old man aboard had a arm injury. Watchstanders launched a Coast Guard Station Hatteras Inlet to attempt a medevac. Once on scene, the MLB was unable to conduct the medevac due to adverse weather conditions. Watchstanders established a communication schedule with the Brave Heart and planned to send a crew from Coast Guard Station Fort Macon to escort the Brave Heart in, but crewmembers aboard the Brave Heart stated they no longer needed Coast Guard assistance.

The 54-foot sailboat, Zulu, contacted Sector North Carolina watchstanders via satellite phone, reporting that they were disabled and adrift. The Cutter Block Island crew arrived on scene and is preparing to set up a tow to bring the Zulu back to shore.
