Cheeki Rafiki skipper Andrew Bridge will be "dearly missed by everyone who knew him", his family have said after the yacht's wreck was found.
The upturned hull of the 40ft vessel was found in the Atlantic on Friday with its life raft still on board but there was no sign of the four crew.
The yacht began taking on water on its way to the UK after an Antigua regatta.
In a statement on Saturday, Mr Bridge's family said they were "shocked and deeply saddened by the news."
They added: "We would like to thank everyone who's helped in the search for Andrew including the US Coast Guard, the Canadian Coast Guard, the RAF, Merchant vessels, the yachting community and the British and American governments.
"We have been overwhelmed and strengthened by the public support we have received and would like to thank the media for their support and treating us in a respectful and dignified way."
The crew got into difficulties on 15 May.
They were Mr Bridge, 22 from Farnham, Surrey, Paul Goslin, 56, from West Camel, Somerset; Steve Warren, 52, from Bridgwater, Somerset; and 22-year-old James Male, from Romsey, Hampshire.
