Medical evacuation from sail training yacht

Weymouth RNLI All-Weather lifeboat was launched at 4.00pm on Thursday 26th August at the request of Solent Coastguard to medivac a 20-year-old male from a Sailing Training vessel just outside of Portland Harbour.

The 23m vessel was unable to berth in Portland Harbour so, following a doctor’s advice, the yacht skipper requested the lifeboat so that the young man could be taken ashore as quickly as possible.

The lifeboat picked up the casualty and took him back to the lifeboat station to a waiting ambulance.
