    A yacht's badly damaged after being smashed against the rocks at Tutukaka Harbour in Northland

    A yacht's badly damaged after being smashed against the rocks at Tutukaka Harbour in Northland


    A dramatic rescue took place between about 11.15 last night and just before 1 this morning, after the skipper made an urgent call for help.

    Coastguard duty officer Ash Salter says it was upgraded to a mayday call, with the person onboard saying the vessel was being pounded on the rocks.

    He says the person was helped by a fellow boatie, then Tutukaka Rescue arrived just before midnight.

    There was one person on board, who was wearing a lifejacket.

    Salter says he wasn't hurt but the boat has significant damage.

    A private salvage operation is taking place today, organised by the owner of the boat or their insurance company.
