Andrew Bedwell, a British sailor, was rescued just two days into his attempt to cross the Atlantic in a tiny 3ft 11in boat. He was hoping to break the world record for the smallest vessel ever to cross the ocean, but his vessel had to be abandoned at sea during the rescue.

A British sailor has been rescued just two days into his attempt to cross the Atlantic in a tiny 3ft 11in boat. Andrew Bedwell, 52, was hoping to fulfil his dream of breaking the world record for the smallest vessel ever to cross the ocean - a feat that has stood for more than 30 years.

Mr Bedwell set sail from Newfoundland, Canada, bound for the UK on June 4, but was forced to issue a mayday call to the Canadian Coast Guard on June 6. His vessel, Big C V2, had to be abandoned at sea during the rescue. It was the second time he had attempted the crossing. His previous homemade vessel, Big C, was shelved after it sank on the first day of a 2023 voyage.

Mr Bedwell, from Scarisbrick, Lancashire, previously said he hoped to raise money for Cancer Research UK after losing both his parents to the disease. But following his latest setback, he has decided to fly home to Britain and move on from the record attempt
