Workington RNLI crews assisted the yacht back into the port
A yacht had to be rescued by the RNLI after its sail ripped, preventing it from "making headway".
The RNLI was alerted by a bystander who spotted the vessel struggling near the port in Workington, Cumbria, at about 16:00 BST.
It launched all-weather lifeboat, Dorothy May White, which helped to bring the yacht into the harbour.
An RNLI spokesperson said one person had been aboard and they were "safe and well".
