A YACHT that ran aground on a sandbank was freed by Ryde Inshore Rescue on Friday.

The boat, with three people on board, ran aground close to Ryde. No-one was injured and the boat was not damaged.

The rescue crew were also in action the previous night when a pram dinghy was spotted floating close to Ryde Pier.

They retrieved the boat, which had come adrift from a vessel in Ryde Harbour.
