The team from Crosshaven RNLI were joined by two members of the Youghal lifeboat station crew on the dispatch.

An elderly man, his daughter and her son were rescued on Thursday after their dinghy capsized east of Whitegate Oil refinery. 

The casualties were very cold when the Ballcotton lifeboat crew found them so they were taken to Cobh where they could warm up in dry clothes.
