The Coast Guard combed the ocean off Provincetown today for the owner of a capsized sailboat, but then suspended the search after finding no signs of a person in distress.
It is unknown if anyone was aboard the 15-foot boat when it capsized. The boat was found two miles west of Race Point and was reported to the Coast Guard around 10:30 a.m, the Coast Guard said in a statement.
The search was called off at 2:30 p.m. The Coast Guard had, at that point, scrutinized the area with a boat and a helicopter, and park rangers had completed a shoreline search, said Petty Officer Lauren Jorgensen, a Coast Guard spokeswoman.
A rescue swimmer dropped into the water near the boat could not find registration numbers or a name on the boat, the statement said.
