LIFEBOAT crew were called to help a sailor who experienced "navigational difficulties" near Lyme Regis.
The sailor, who was travelling on a 22ft classic wooden yacht, was rescued by the crew on Saturday (11) afternoon.
A Lyme Regis RNLI spokesman, said: "The lone sailor, from Bridport, was reported to have encountered navigational difficulties two miles west of Lyme Regis during a trip from Exmouth to West Bay.
"The lifeboat volunteers, who launched at 3.24pm, towed the yacht to the safety of Lyme Regis harbour, arriving an hour later."
