A 40ft ocean racing yacht was grounded in the western Solent.

The boat was stuck at a 45-degree angle on May 26, and the RNLI Calshot crew arrived to help.

Sea conditions were tough, with the wind making the journey difficult.

A spokesperson for the Calshot RNLI said: "It was fairly evident on arrival it wasn’t going to be moving anywhere anytime soon until the tide offered up more water.

"The lifeboat crew made contact with the crew of the casualty vessel, ensuring there were no injuries onboard and also carried out a visual check of the hull for any signs of damage or water ingress.

"After finding no concerns with either crew or vessel and with the yacht's crew happy to remain onboard until it refloats, the Atlantic 85 headed back to station where it was washed down, refuelled and readied for service once again."
