Debris has been found in the Atlantic Ocean near where the UK yacht Cheeki Rafiki disappeared.

The captain of a catamaran taking part in the search told the BBC details had been passed to the US Coast Guard, but said he did not know if the debris was part of the missing boat.

The 40-ft Cheeki Rafiki, based in Southampton, was sailing back to the UK from Antigua when it went missing.

The search was originally called off on Sunday but resumed on Tuesday.
