Houston (AP) -  The Coast Guard rescued six people Saturday after their 20-foot sailboat capsized 10 miles south of Matagorda Island.

The guard received a call from Rotor Craft Leasing about 5:15 p.m. that one of the company's helicopter crews had discovered the boat in the Gulf of Mexico, according to a news release.

Coast Guard Air Station Houston and Air Station Corpus Christi launched helicopter rescue crews.

Meanwhile, the civilian helicopter crew continued searching for six people in the water. The civilian crew reported to the Coast Guard that four people had swam to a Brazos offshore rig, and two others had been swept away by the current.

At 5:40 p.m., the two remaining people, both wearing lifejackets, were found in the water.

Coast Guard helicopter rescue crews from Houston and Corpus Christi safely hoisted all six people. They were flown to Palachos Airport off Matagorda Bay to awaiting paramedics.

Two are in fair condition and the remaining four are in good condition, the Houston Chronicle reported on its Web site Saturday night.
