One of the Tall Ships on its way to Waterford collided with a yacht overnight.
The Class B vessel, ‘Irene’ with five crew members and 12 trainees on board was in collision with a 25-foot yacht near Kilmore Quay.
The yacht's mast was broken and it was towed to Rosslare Harbour.
The 'Irene' is continuing on its journey to Waterford.
The Coast Guard helicopter, based at Waterford Airport, was called out, as well as other emergency services but nobody was injured.
45 Tall Ships, from the largest Class A to smallest Class D, are arriving in Waterford for tomorrow's official opening.
