Johannesburg - A South African catamaran crew on a voyage to Thailand have not been heard from in a month and a half, concerned family members said on Monday.
The families of Anthony Murray, Reg Robertson and Jaryd Payne believe there is real cause for concern as the yatchsmen last made contact via satellite phone on 18 January, they said in a joint statement.
Based on the yacht's co-ordinates at the time - in international waters around 2190 miles north-northwest of Perth, Australia - the estimated arrival date was 2 February.
