Two Dutch men were taken to hospital after they got into difficulties in a yacht off the Kent coast.
The 76-year-old skipper of the boat had fallen and injured his rib, while a 27-year-old was suffering from hypothermia, according to Margate Coastguard.
The vessel was towed into Ramsgate harbour.
The Coastguard said the pair were struggling to cope in very windy conditions.
