Worse still, seemingly adrift in the Persian Gulf, their 60-ft. boat appears to have inadvertently coasted into the territorial waters of Iran. Duly halted by Iranian naval vessels on Nov. 25, the men - seasoned sailors who had planned to take part in a yacht race from Dubai the following day - were swiftly whisked into the uncertain fate of Iranian custody at a moment...
