The search is on for a father and son who set sail to Mallorca before the storm

Salvamento Marítimo received the alert call in the evening, at 6 pm, from a relative of the two crew members, from Germany. He had lost contact with them at 10am. Within minutes, the "Mimosa" rescue boat, based in Porto Colom, was mobilised and a general warning was given to sailors in the Minorca channel, without the 9-metre-long, white-hulled sailing boat being detected.

This morning the "Mimosa" and the rescue boat "Markab", based in the port of Ciutadella, were mobilised again. The helimer 220, from Mallorca, has also joined the search effort to try to find the sailboat from the air.
