Sailors plucked from trimaran off New Zealand

Helicopters rushed to rescue 10 sailors from a French trimaran that overturned off the east coast of New Zealand on Monday.
Four aircraft went to the Groupama III after it capsized about 80 nautical miles (150 kilometres) east of Dunedin in the country's South Island.
The New Zealand Rescue Coordination Centre said the crew, who donned survival gear and sat on the yacht's hull, were being winched to safety.
"No injuries, everyone's okay. It's just now a matter of waiting for them to be winched off," rescue centre spokesman Ross Henderson told Reuters.
The yacht was taking part in the Jules Verne Round the World Yacht Race when it overturned in three-metre (10 feet) swells and winds of about 30 knots, forcing the crew onto the upturned hull.
It is not known what caused the boat to capsize. The alarm was raised by French rescue authorities, who received a signal from the yacht's emergency beacon and notified New Zealand authorities.
