A YACHT has capsized about six kilometres off the Noosa Coast amid six metre swells with the skipper flown to Nambour Hospital with a back injury.

A helicopter winched him off the Aus Maid, which was eight nautical miles northeast of Noosa Heads, after the yacht was dismasted earlier in the day.

He was flown to Maroochydore and taken to hospital by ambulance with suspected back injuries.

Only hearing bits and pieces on the radio, but it sounds like the yacht is being towed by coast guard now with the two crew onboard.
