Scarborough and Burniston Coastguard Rescue Team were called out at 2.45 on Sunday afternoon.

One of the people on board fell into the water while getting alongside, Coastguards quickly retrieved the casualty from the water before checking them over and taking them somewhere warm and dry.

The yacht was safely tied up shortly after.

If you see someone in difficulty anywhere on or near the coast, dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
