The Peel Coastguard Rescue Team assisted a visiting yacht passenger after they'd slipped and fallen overboard last night (2 June).

The call was made just before midnight as the person was injured and the fellow crew could not recover them from the water. 

Upon arrival, the team assisted by placing the person on a main pontoon and delivering casualty care before transferring them to the ambulance service at the boat park.
