Rescuers searching for a missing 50-year-old Enlishman have recovered a body off the Co Mayo coast.
The man was sailing with his 19-year-old son when he was washed overboard from a yacht off last night.
The teenager was taken aboard Ballyglass lifeboat after the alarm was raised around 7 p.m. that the two person crew of a 30 foot yacht were in trouble off Erris Head.
The body was discovered close to where the yacht is drifting. It has been taken ashore where family members are expected to make a formal identification this afternoon.
The 63ft long Irish-registered Siobhanna sought help 41 miles south of Rosslare when a rope fouled its propeller in the early morning.
It is understood the lifeboat took the fishing boat on tow.
Meanwhile, the Rosslare Lifeboat went to the rescue of a fishing boat which got into difficulties off the Co Wexford Coast.
