RNLI volunteers attend two separate incidents rescuing one person
Volunteers of the Bangor lifeboat attended the first incident following a page from the Belfast Coastguard at 8.49am.
It followed reports of a kite surfer in difficulty in Ballyholme Bay.
They launched their lifeboat Ruby Robinson at 9am.
On arrival they found the kite surfer in the water 'quite exhausted and unable to remount his board.'
The crew brought the kite surfer onboard and retrieved his equipment from the water.
The lifeboat crew liaised with HM Coastguard before bringing the the surfer ashore, where he was handed over to the care of the Coastguard shore team. Bangor lifeboat helm James Gillespie said: 'We had a good outcome this morning and thanks to the member of the public who alerted us about the kite surfer in trouble.
"We would recommend that it is always better to kite with another person and never to ride out further than you can swim back.'
Jason and Vicky Clarke, relatives of the late Denis Filby who donated the lifeboat, welcomed the newly named Ruby Robinson back to the station.
"It was great that Jason and Vicky saw their uncles legacy at work and witnessed the valuable contribution Ruby Robinson is making to Belfast Lough,' added Mr Gillespie.
At 4.39pm on Sunday volunteers received a second call for assistance.
It followed reports of an 18ft speedboat taking on water off Crawfordsburn Beach.
After getting to the scene volunteers discovered the speedboat underwater.
The single occupant of the boat had managed to make it unaided to the shore and was assisted by the HM Coastguard shore team.
They were then transferred into the hands of the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service for shock treatment. It is not clear what had caused the boat to take on water and eventually sink.

Lifeboat helm Gavin Mitchell assessed the situation and since the boat was not causing any obstruction to marine traffic or environmental harm it was decided that the boat was unrecoverable. Following the call out Mr Mitchell said: 'Always wear a lifejacket and always have a means for calling for help and ensure you know how to use it.'
