The Coast Guard in Honolulu said it had rescued two men, one of them a Newport Beach resident, from the disabled 48-foot yacht Joie de Mere III. Laurence Deal, 44, and Mario Silva, 34, of Honolulu, radioed for help Wednesday from an area 560 miles southwest of Hawaii after a series of storms ripped the yacht’s sails and broke the main mast. A Coast Guard spokesman said the two men appeared to be in “good” health when the Cutter Sassafras towed the yacht into the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor. The two men had set sail from Newport Beach on Nov. 11.
