Missing yacht: 'There is still hope', says crew member's sister

The search for four British sailors missing in the Atlantic Ocean since Friday has resumed.

The US Coast Guard confirmed it had begun searching again after an online petition gathered 200,000 signatures.

Cheeki Rafiki, the 40ft racing yacht, was sailing from a regatta in Antigua back to the UK when it got into difficulties. The initial search was called off on Sunday.

Kay Coombes, the sister of Steve Warren, told the BBC: "We changed people's minds ...there is still hope."
