Baltimore RNLI came to the rescue of six people on a yacht off 'East Calf Island' in West Cork.
Following a request from the Irish Coast Guard, the Baltimore crew went to the assistance of a 26 foot yacht which had dismasted in Roaring Water Bay.
Two volunteer lifeboat crewmen were put aboard to assist in the derigging of the mast.
Once the mast was secured and the owners of the yacht were happy, the yacht was able to make its own way under engine to the nearest port.
