AC/DC Fans Rescued From Yacht Following Stormy Wellington Concert

Three AC/DC fans needed to be rescued by emergency services following the iconic rock outfit's concert on Saturday night, after they decided to travel home from the show by yacht in stormy conditions.

According to NZ Herald, the trio were travelling from Cook Strait to Picton when the rough weather picked up and the boat's boom knocked the only experienced sailor on board in the head before he fell overboard. 

Though he managed to get back onto the boat, the Wellington police maritime unit's launch, the Lady Elizabeth IV, were notified and thankfully nearby at the time of the accident. 

"We happened to be close by so we got an experienced sailor on to the vessel," Constable Kurt Marshall said.

"One of us was sailing while the other was administering first aid to the male with injuries."

The police sailed the yacht back to Wellington Harbour, where the injured man was taken to hospital by ambulance after suffering a "large gash to his forehead and a gash to the lip".

It has been reported that the boat was carrying three life jackets, though none of the passengers on board were wearing one. 

Constable Marshall also confirmed that the men had consumed alcohol though it is unclear how much.

The conditions in Wellington were so bad that AC/DC were reportedly forced off stage from Westpac Stadium after just two songs due to technical issues. 

The 30,000 in attendance waited in the rain for around 40 minutes before the band returned on stage to complete the entire set.
