A Saga cruise ship being piloted by the Harbourmaster in Dartmouth has hit 4 yachts. 

The Saga Pearl II was brought into the Port of Dartmouth at around 0700 this morning. 

In a statement, The Dart Harbour Authority said: "During a manoeuvre to turn, the ship clipped 4 yachts causing superficial damage. No one was hurt in the incident and the harbour office is now making all efforts to contact the owners of the yacht involved. Records from the incident are being collated and will be analysed in order to identify exactly why this occurred and what can be learnt."
