An HH-65 rescue helicopter from Coast Guard Air Station Los Angeles lowers a rescue swimmer and a pump to assist a 47 foot motor yacht that was takin on water because of hull damage.

Due to the vessel's inability to maneuver it required excellent team coordination between the flight mechanic, rescue swimmer, and pilots making for a very successful mission." Stated, LT. Arron Mader, the rescue helicopter pilot.

Once the flooding was stabilized the vessel was towed safely to Santa Barbara Harbor.
