Courtmacsherry RNLI launched to assist three surfers who found themselves in difficulty off Inchydoney Beach in Clonakilty Bay.

Courtmacsherry RNLI's all-weather lifeboat was called out at 3.40am this morning, Friday (1 August) to go to the immediate aid of two sailors on a 40ft yacht that got into difficulties and was taking on water 21 miles south of the Old Head of Kinsale in West Cork.
