ALAMEDA, Calif.\u2014<\/strong>The U.S. Coast Guard is seeking the assistance of the maritime community in the search for 60-year-old Noel Rubio and the sailing boat Malulani<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The vessel Malulani<\/em> is a 32-foot Westsail sloop that departed Long Beach, California, Dec. 28 enroute to Kaneohe, O\u2019ahu, Hawaii, crewed by the 60-year-old Noel Rubio with a planned arrival date of Jan. 18.<\/p>\n

The Coast Guard is using all available means to determine the Malulani<\/em>\u2018s location, including urgent marine information broadcasts and harbor checks in California, Hawaii, and Mexico. He last made contact via cellphone Dec. 28, from south of Catalina Island, California informing a friend that he was enroute to Hawaii. The only means of communication aboard the vessel Malulani<\/em> is a VHF-FM marine band radio.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Coast Guard is greatly appreciative of the expert consult advice on weather and routes provided by experienced trans-Pacific sailors,\u201d said Douglas Samp, a search and rescue mission coordinator in the Rescue Coordination Center Alameda. \u201cMariners intending to conduct an open ocean passage are highly encouraged to have multiple layers of communication, including a VHF-FM DSC radio, HF DSC radio, satellite communications, and a 406Mhz electronic position indicating radio beacon as the notification of last resort to help SAR authorities locate your position in a time of need.\u201d<\/p>\n

Please report any information or sightings of the S\/V Malulani<\/em> or Noel Rubio to JRCC Alameda at 510-437-3701, RCCAlameda1@uscg.mil<\/a> or JRCC Honolulu at 808-535-3333, JRCCHonolulu@uscg.mil<\/a>. (USCG)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
