A crewman on a yacht racing in Start Bay injured his head when the yacht he was on was involved in a collision with another yacht. He was given immediate First Aid on board and transferred to the RIB 'Northern Exposure' for transfer ashore. The Coastguard tasked the Dart RNLI lifeboat to divert from exercise on the River Dart and to attend. A lifeboat crewman was able to assess the state of the casualty and the lifeboat escorted the RIB up the river, the rowing racers having been asked to keep clear. The Casualty was landed and transferred to an Ambulance at the Regatta rendezvous at Sandquay.
