A man has been airlifted from an overturned yacht in Dún Laoghaire harbour.
The trimaran with eight people on board overturned in rough seas in the harbour.
The Spindrift vessel was taking part in the 'Route des Princes' international round-Europe race.
The vessel capsized shortly after the start of the race at 3pm.
One crew member was airlifted from the yacht and has been taken to Tallaght hospital, the rest of the team have been brought ashore.
The injured party has a suspected back injury.
Weather conditions on the water when the capsize occured were 20 knots with strong gusts.
Race organisers have cancelled today's leg of the race and the process of recovering the upturned 70ft trimaran is under way.
The Route de Princes race left Valencia earlier this month and stopped in Lisbon before arriving in Dún Laoghaire this week.
The Spindrift racing yacht is steered by French sailor, Yann Guichard.
