A person was assisted back to shore Thursday afternoon after a small boat began taking on water during a sailing camp at the Inverness Yacht Club, according to the Marin County Fire Department.
Crews were dispatched around 1:30 p.m. to the yacht club on Tomales Bay, spokesperson Brianna Rowland said.
When firefighters arrived, personnel associated with the sailing class had already pulled the person safely back to shore, Rowland said.
Instructors for the class were at the site and conducted the rescue.
The response initially generated reports of a possible capsized boat and multiple people involved.
The Inverness Yacht Club is located along the western shore of Tomales Bay in Inverness.
The incident occurred two days after the unrelated sinking of the Volare, a 49-foot cabin cruiser carrying 20 people near Alcatraz.
One passenger and a dog died, and three passengers remained missing Thursday.
Sixteen people were rescued.
A small craft advisory was in effect Thursday for coastal waters near Point Reyes, where the National Weather Service forecast northwest winds of 15 to 25 knots and rough seas.
