VOLUNTEERS searching for a yacht belonging to a 65-year-old woman who disappeared after leaving Mousehole on Saturday have found debris washed up on Sennen beach.
Photographs of the debris are currently being analysed by coastguards in Falmouth to see whether it belongs to Seagair, a 31ft yacht skippered by Ona Unwin from Bideford.
Ms Unwin, who is from Bideford and recently bought the yacht, left Mousehole to go to Bideford at 6.30 pm on Saturday evening, but has not been seen or heard from since then.
The debris has been discovered in the water surrounding Cowloe Rocks in Sennen Cove and washed up on the beach.
Three RNLI lifeboats from Penlee, Sennen Cove and St Ives were launched today in a bid to locate the missing yacht, along with helicopters from RNAS Culdrose and RAF Chivenor.
