Coastguards help transfer ill sailor to hospital
COASTGUARDS and the Weymouth RNLI lifeboat helped transfer a sailor to hospital after he fell ill whilst out at sea.
The all-weather lifeboat and Wyke Coastguard were both called to the incident last night after a man became ill on board.
The boat was towed back to Weymouth harbour, and the coastguard team helped get the man off the boat and transferred him to paramedics who were waiting nearby.
