A MAN had to be rescued on Monday night after the engine on his yacht failed just off Gourock.
The alarm was raised just after 6pm.
Largs Lifeboat was launched and the Greenock Coastguard team were called out.
A Coastguard spokesman said: “There was a yacht with engine failure at Cloch Point.
“The Largs Lifeboat and the Greenock Coastguard team attended.
“Everything was fine on board, the male had contacted us to say he had engine failure so he couldn’t get back to the marina.
“The yacht was towed to Inverkip Marina.”
