Baltimore RNLI provided assistance to a yacht in difficulty with one person onboard last night
The volunteer lifeboat crew launched their all-weather lifeboat shortly before 8.45pm, following a request from the Irish Coast Guard to go to the assistance of a 52 foot yacht which was 8 miles south east of Baltimore.
The skipper and sole occupant of the yacht had raised the alarm following an accident onboard.
The lifeboat towed the yacht to Baltimore Harbour and the injured skipper was handed over to the care of the HSE ambulance staff who were waiting on the pier
