A Suffolk sailor has been missing at sea for 13 days now, here is everything we know so far. 

Duncan Lougee, who works for Clarke and Carter in Levington, set off from Plymouth as part of the Jester Challenge on his boat The Minke at midday on June 18. 

When was Duncan Lougee expected to arrive in Baltimore, Ireland?

Mr Lougee from Dedham and his 26ft Carne folkboat were expected to reach Baltimore on June 22. 

When and where was Duncan Lougee's boat found?

Devon and Cornwall Police confirmed that the missing yacht was located on Thursday by Ireland Coastguard around 70 miles northwest of Trevose Head in Cornwall. 

What are the police saying in regard to the investigation?

Devon and Cornwall Police have stated that because nobody was onboard the boat when it was found Mr Lougee remains a missing person. 

Detective Inspector Daniel Massey said: "We continue to liaise with partners including The Maritime and Coastguard Agency, Marine Accident Investigation Branch, and The Coroner’s Office in relation this matter.

“Whilst Mr Lougee remains officially a missing person, responsibility of searches in open water sits with the Coastguard.

"However, yacht Minke has been missing since it left Plymouth on Sunday June 18, and initial enquires appear to show no fresh entries in the ship's journal for at least nine days.

“Therefore, due to the potentially vast and prohibitive area of search at sea, at this time there is currently no new searches planned by Coastguard.

“This matter will remain under review and if any fresh information comes to light, this will be assessed accordingly. We have informed the family of these initial updates and our thoughts are with them at this time; the family of Duncan Lougee have asked for privacy.”

Why has the search been called off?

The coastguard called off the search after Mr Lougee's boat was found. 

A HM Coastguard spokesman said: "Extensive searches were carried out and coordinated by HM Coastguard and the yacht found.

"The search was terminated once it became clear that the period of survivability had passed.”

Where is the boat now?

Yacht Minke has been brought to shore and is currently docked in Padstow Harbour.

What is the Jester Challenge?

The Jester Challenge is an opportunity for skippers to test their boats and their seagoing mettle in a supportive and non-competitive environment.

It is not a race in any way, shape or form.
