Darien Police Marine Division officers on patrol on the Long Island Sound received a distress call from a boat that was taking on water in the area of Copps Island shortly after 12:45 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 15.
Police said that the officers were able to locate the boat and found two men in the water, as well as the mast of a sunken sailboat that punctured the waterline.
The two men were pulled onto the police boat by the responding officers and transported to the Norwalk Yacht Club to be evaluated, while the Darien Police Department alerted the U.S. Coast Guard to the submerged vessel in the Sound.
