London, England (CNN) -- The father of a British sailor who was detained along with his four crew mates by the Iranian Navy last month says the five are being held in Iran but being treated well.Their vessel, a racing yacht called the Kingdom of Bahrain, was on its way from Bahrain to Dubai for a race when it was stopped by Iranian navy ships on November 25, according to the British Foreign Office.
The boat "may have strayed inadvertently into Iranian waters" when it was intercepted, a Foreign Office statement said.The five sailors, identified by British government sources as Olly Smith, Sam Usher, Luke Porter, Oliver Young and Dave Bloomer, have now been taken ashore in Iran but are not being held in a prison, Oliver's father, David Young, told reporters.
