Abandoned trimaran salvaged by skipper
After the rescue of the crew, the skipper of the 'Mizuya', Luke Moloney, flew from Japan to Unalaska as quickly as he could. He hired the marine-salvage company Resolve Marine to take him and his friend to the boat. Once they were near the general vicinity of it, they searched for four days in thick fog, trying to find where the sailboat had drifted, and finally found it. After two weeks adrift, the 'Mizuya' was in good shape. Moloney and a friend fixed the mechanical failure in a few hours, using replacement parts they had brought, and got the 'Mizuya' sailing again. They headed to Adak, waited for a break in the weather, and then to Unalaska to begin the original voyage again. Moloney had lived aboard the 'Mizuya' for the past year, while sailing around East Asia. In early June, the boat set out from Gamagori, Japan bound for Prince Rupert, British Columbia. Ten days into the voyage, it lost its rudder, and they couldn’t steer anymore, and had to be abandoned. After the rescue, Moloney and his crew were handed off to the Japan Coast Guard and taken back to Japan.

Coast Guard ship sailed over 575 miles to rescue trimaran crew
The U.S. Coast Guard, Canadian Coast Guard, and Japan Coast Guard coordinated the rescue of three people stranded aboard the 'Mizuya', which was disabled and adrift approximately 950 miles southwest of Adak, Alaska. The 'Mizuya' reported they lost control of the vessel’s rudder and were unable to maneuver on June 18, 2026, at 12:15 a.m. Watch standers at the U.S. Coast Guard Arctic District command center communicated with multiple commercial and recreational good Samaritan vessels in the area to attempt a rescue. However, on-scene weather conditions of 35 mph winds and 15-foot waves prevented any safe rescue attempts. The Canadian Coast Guard Ship 'Sir Wilfrid Laurier' (IMO: 8320456), which was deployed in the North Pacific as part of Operation North Pacific Guard, coordinated with the U.S. Coast Guard Arctic District command center watchstanders and sailed over 575 miles and reached the trimaran on the evening of June 19. It picked up the three members in good condition and transferred them to the JCG patrol vessel 'Kurikoma' for drop off in Japan. Then the crew marked the sailing vessel with the words “SAFE” in red paint across the hull and top of the cabin and left the vessel adrift in the North Pacific Ocean.
