Three people are drifting in their yacht off the Exmouth coast in Western Australia after the mast snapped.
A WA Police spokesman said water police are on the way to help the trio, who are about 20 nautical miles offshore.
The rescue may involve cutting the mast off, using a motor to mobilise the yacht or towing it to shore.
