Guernsey Coastguard launched the Spirit of Guernsey lifeboat after a missing vessel was located
A man has been rescued after going missing while sailing off the coast of Sark.
Guernsey Coastguard received reports on Monday at 19:35 GMT that the sailing vessel Lindring had not arrived in St Peter Port as planned.
An hour later, a merchant vessel made contact with the sole person onboard and the all-weather lifeboat, Spirit of Guernsey, was launched at 20:48 GMT.
The vessel was brought back to St Peter Port in the early hours of Tuesday.
Contact with the merchant vessel found the man was feeling sick, cold and "did not know exactly where he was".
Following the lifeboat's return, Lindring was handed over to Ports of Guernsey staff.
