Search continues for sailors missing off Qld-NSW coast

Posted September 6, 2008 10:27:00

A search is continuing for two sailors missing off the Queensland-New South Wales coast.

The men were due to arrive in Newcastle earlier this week after setting out from New Caledonia.

The Australian Maritime Safety Authority says the pair last made radio contact 11 days ago near the Gold Coast.

An aerial search from Moreton Bay to Newcastle yesterday failed to locate their 24 foot yacht.
