Air, land and sea search launched for sailor

A major land, air and sea search is underway off the Co Antrim coast after an unmanned yacht was found drifting.

Lifeboats and helicopters are combing the Red Bay, five miles north of Larne. The alarm was raised late last night.

A 60-year-old Dublin man is known to have been on board.

The local coastguard has established that the man was last seen some days ago.
