Yacht sinking..?

I had the opportunity to meet the head of St Maarten's sea rescues at the Captain Oliver's Regatta in Oyster Pond last week. His group is in charge of sea rescue for the Dutch side of St Marrten and worked the regatta. Fortunately all went well with the regatta, seas were good and no rescues required!

Over drinks he was telling me they got a call about a large yacht sinking between St Maarten and Puerto Rico a month or so ago. They were called to assist but was notified the U. S. Coast Guard pulled the people off. He heard it sank because of a rudder failure. He said no news was ever reported on this and the yacht was supposed to be in very deep water, thus no salvage efforts. Has any one heard about this sinking? He thought it very strange this sinking has never made the news.
