A solo round-the-world sailor has been rescued from wild winds and seas in a dramatic operation on the open sea.
French national Alain Delord was rescued amid cheers from passengers aboard the MV Orion, which had changed course from a trip to Antarctica to help him.

The boat rolled enormously during the rescue, which required the ship’s stabilisers to be switched off.
He was taken on a Zodiac to the side door on the Orion, and looked awake and relatively well.
