Saturday 23rd March 2024 Marine Rescue Mandurah recovered the 4 crew of Baci, an ocean racing yacht participating in the 2024 Cape Naturalist return race. Baci started to take on water after a number of smaller issues. It was taking on water and was 19Nm off the coast. Marine Rescue Mandurah sent Spirit of Mandurah and Westwide 1 to assist. Spirit of Mandurah crew accepted all crew from the Baci and put the sinking vessel under tow, West Wide 1 arrived and assisted with tow. All crew landed safely but Baci sank in 8m of water a couple of Nm off the coast.
