Harwich lifeboat crew and helicopter rescue 12 rowers

Twelve rowers have been saved off the Suffolk and Essex coast, the RNLI has said.

The charity said many of the rowers were “incapacitated by severe seasickness and exhaustion” when they were rescued at about 13:50 BST on Wednesday.

The distress call was received by RNLI Harwich late Wednesday morning from the 12-metre (39ft) vessel, 38 miles (61km) east of Landguard Point.

The most seriously ill rower had already been airlifted to Ipswich Hospital by the time the crew arrived, the RNLI said. After assessing the remaining rowers, the vessel was towed back to Harwich, Essex.
