## Caption

This is the moment a sailor is saved from a sinking yacht. RNLI volunteer crews were called from Porthcawl and The Mumbles after being alerted to the vessel which had run aground. A lifeboat was launched just after 15:00 BST on 28 August towards the sandbank. Andrew Walmsley, from Porthcawl RNLI, commended the crew for doing a "great job" in difficult conditions as time was of the essence. #BBCNews #RNLI #Porthcawl #Wales
