TWO fishermen were airlifted to hospital by Portland coastguards this morning (Weds) after their vessel capsized.
A coastguard spokesman said the Brixham-based 14-metre Aleyna capsized 20 miles South West of Portland Bill today.
The spokesman said the crew of passing fishing vessel Girl Deborah made a mayday call to the coastguards and recovered the men from the water before they were airlifted to Dorset County Hospital, Dorchester.
