Three people are confirmed dead and one is missing after a yacht disappeared on Saturday during a 124-mile race from Newport Beach, California, to Ensenada, Mexico. The 37-foot Aegean disappeared approximately 15 miles southeast of San Diego at 1:30 am PDT Saturday morning. Newport Ocean Sailing Association officials speculate that the yacht may have been hit by a freighter or tanker. The fatalities occurred two weeks after five sailors died in a race in the waters off Northern California. Sources: AP, ABC
