A man has been rescued from a sinking yacht in bad weather hundreds of miles off the Cornish coast. He was rescued by a cargo ship 300 miles west of the Duchy early on Saturday morning, after his craft began to take on water in high winds while travelling back from the Azores in the North Atlantic Ocean. Falmouth Coastguard received a distress signal from a yacht at about 5.20am before co-ordinating the rescue. The ship used cargo nets to pull the man, who was not injured, from the craft.
