CREW RESCUED AFTER FISHING BOAT DAMAGED BY LARGE WAVES OFF CORNWALL

Six people have been rescued from their fishing boat after it was damaged in the rough sea off the north Cornwall coast.

Falmouth Coastguard was first contacted about the French fishing boat Le Sillon just before 4pm this afternoon by the French Coastguard. They reported that the boat had been hit by a number of large waves and they had lost power and steering, and were drifting approximately 5 miles off Trevose Head. The wind at the time was gusting up to 60 mph.

The RNLI all-weather lifeboat from Padstow, along with the search and rescue helicopter from RNAS Culdrose was sent to the scene. Five of the crew were picked up by the Royal Navy helicopter and the other crew member was recovered by the lifeboat. There are no reported injuries.
