SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — A British yachtsman who was trying to sail by himself non-stop around the world has been rescued by Chile’s navy.

The 54-year-old Andrew Halcrow was forced to give up his second attempt to circumnavigate the globe after the mast on his yacht broke in a storm west of Cape Horn. A Chilean naval helicopter flew him to the city of Punta Arenas on Sunday.
