Speedboat sinks after rock crash

The boat crashed onto rocks

Two men have been rescued after a speedboat they were delivering crashed onto rocks in Cornwall.

Falmouth Coastguard coordinated the rescue at Zone Point, near St Anthony's Head at 0545 BST.

When the 36ft (11m) boat Seaworks crashed, the two men on board managed to scramble to safety on the rocks and were rescued by the Falmouth lifeboat.

Neither of the men were injured. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency said the boat was carrying 250 litres of fuel.

"There are no reports of any pollution although the yacht will be closely monitored ahead of any planned salvage activity," an MCA spokesperson said.

"It is currently resting in calm shallow waters close to the beach and is not considered to be a hazard to shipping."
