A yacht got into difficulty off the coast of Buckie early this morning.
The crew raised the alarm at about 3.30am, reporting damaging to the vessel.
Coastguard teams from Burghead and Portsoy went to the boat’s aid, along with RNLI Macduff and with Moray Inshore Rescue Organisation (Miro).
A spokesman from Aberdeen Coastguard confirmed that the yacht has been “returned safe and well” to Buckie harbour.
