The trio, who were wearing life jackets, were winched to safety near Bawley Point, south of Ulladulla.
Officers from South Coast Police District, Water Police and members of the Volunteer Rescue Association, Surf Life Saving and the Westpac Rescue Helicopter found them clinging to the hulls of their catamaran."They were there, but they weren't nipping at us," he said.
Chief Inspector David Cockram, from the South Coast Police District, said it could have been a "tragedy" had the group not been wearing lifejackets."It serves as a timely reminder that people should take all safety precautions when launching into the water, to observe the prevailing conditions and ensure all people on board are wearing life jackets.
