Ferry reroutes to rescue stranded catamaran crew
A ferry was diverted to help a rescue operation after a catamaran capsized off the Aberdeenshire coast.
The catamaran, with two people on board, got into difficulties off Cruden Bay on Saturday.
The NorthLink ferry MV Hrossey launched a fast rescue craft which helped one person from the water.
A small local fishing boat which also responded helped the other person. They were taken ashore by Peterhead lifeboat.
The RNLI said the sailors were well-equipped and were none the worse for their ordeal.
