The three Americans were aboard the 44-foot (13.5 metre) sailing vessel “Ocean Bound.” The US Coast Guard gave their names as Kerry O'Brien, Frank O'Brien, and William Gross.
They have not been heard from since April 4, when they were near the Pacific coast port of Mazatlán, Mexico. The three had planned to stop for supplies in the Baja resort town of Cabo San Lucas, before proceeding to San Diego.
However, the Coast Guard said marinas in Baja California have not reported seeing the vessel. (AP)
