Three people have been rescued after a yacht got into trouble in Studland Bay.
The 10-metre vessel requested assistance after fouling a marker bouy on Easter Sunday.
The boat was also struggling with an overheating engine.
HM Coastguard dispatched a lifeboat from RNLI Poole shortly after 2:30pm.
All three crew members were successfully rescued, with the skipper able to sail the boat into Poole Harbour whilst escorted by lifeboat crews.
One person was treated for severe sea sickness.
The launch was the 14th for volunteers at Poole Lifeboat station this year.
