Men rescued after boat breakdown
Two men had to be rescued after their boat ran out of fuel several miles off the Dorset coast.

The wife of one of the sailors called Portland Coastguard on Monday night to report that they were in difficulty somewhere off Weymouth.

The boat was later located by coastguard rescue teams following an air and sea search five nautical miles off the south Devon coast.

An RNLI lifeboat then towed the Fleur de Vente to Salcombe.
