BOSTON - A Coast Guard rescue helicopter crew from Air Station Cape Cod, Mass., rescued two men today after their sailing vessel the Raw Faith became disabled Monday.

The crew of the 88-foot sailing vessel Raw Faith reported their situation to the Coast Guard Monday. The Coast Guard launched several aircraft and diverted two Coast Guard cutters to assist the men. The Cutters Tybee and Reliance were on scene today with the Raw Faith. Once the two men decided to evacuate the vessel, a rescue swimmer was put into the water to assist the hoisting of the survivors.
