A Volunteer Marine Rescue crew has come to the aid of a skipper whose 36-foot (11m) sailboat began taking on water off Newry Island.
Mastermyne 5 skipper Charles Linsley said VMR was towing the broken-down vessel back to safety at the Mackay Marina.
"They had an engine failure and couldn't get back to Mackay so they requested a tow back," Mr Linsley said.
"The engine failure was partly caused by taking on water."
