Family rescued after steering sinking boat on to rocks in Devon

Family of six including a baby taken to safety after reaching rocks just before boat was lost

A family including a baby and three other children were rescued after their father deliberately ran their boat on to rocks as it took in seawater and began to sink.

Teenagers taking part in a coasteering expedition helped guide the stricken 7-metre (24ft) vessel on to the rocks in Devon. The family of six managed to scramble on to shore moments before the boat was lost.
