All okay after breakdown
Four people were rescued off the east coast last night, after their yacht broke down.
The Douglas lifeboat Sir William Hillary was launched shortly after 8.30pm, following a radio call to the coastguard.
A jammed foresail had rendered the vessel unsailable, and it was rapidly drifting further offshore.
RNLI volunteers towed her back to Battery Pier - where the men were fortunately 'none the worse' for the incident.
