Two men and a woman have been rescued from their battered yacht, Platino, around 550 kilometres north of New Zealand by the crew of the container ship Southern Lily.
The Rescue Coordination Centre will this morning decide whether to continue searching for a man washed overboard north of New Zealand.
The search has been complicated by rough seas 550km off New Zealand's coast.
One man was killed by the yacht Platino's rigging, and another was swept overboard when the
vessel encountered rough conditions two days ago. Three others were rescued from the stricken yacht yesterday.
The rescue centre's Steve Rendle said officials were reviewing the search so far, including analysing currents.
No active search is under way now, but they were looking at the next step.
