This is the moment four wounded crew members aboard a broken sailing vessel are medevacked from extreme sea conditions.

The rescue took place from the stranded 39-foot sailing vessel Calypso, in South of Montauk, in Long Island, located in the West New York, on Sunday, 8th May.

The video, recorded with a body cam, shows the helicopter of the US Coast Guard approaching the boat.

The conditions of the sea are rough with strong waves that hit the ship.

A guard is then deployed and swims towards the boat with broken sails to start the evacuation.

One by one the men are medevacked to the helicopter.

At night the conditions seem harder but the evacuation ended up being successful.

The crew had sustained injuries due to heavy sea conditions on their voyage from Bermuda to Connecticut.

They had no means of communication other than text message and EPIRB ( Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon).

They were successfully brought safely to land and transported to a hospital.
