Yacht pulled into Stornoway after it began to leak water

The Stornoway Coastguard was called out earlier this afternoon after a yacht began taking in water.

The call was made at around 1.45pm after the Windsmith II, which had been travelling between Stornoway and Loch Ewe, got into difficulty.

The helicopter was sent out and sent a pump onto the vessel which helped it control the water.

It was later escorted back to short by the lifeboat.
