A group of people have been rescued from a sinking boat off the coast of Sydney, with a teenager and two adults winched to safety by helicopter.
Footage of the rescue showed the moment the trio were plucked from the sinking fishing boat 20 nautical miles (37 kilometres) from the coast of Coledale, south of the Royal National Park.
The men called Triple Zero, who then mobilised the Westpac rescue helicopter to retrieve the group from the rapidly sinking boat.
As the helicopter arrived, the boy's father ensured the teenager was taken from the water first before he was winched to safety.
The other man was retrieved by a nearby boat and taken to shore.
The three men were reportedly in the area for a shark-fishing competition.
The man and his son were flown to the rescue base at La Perouse to be checked by paramedics.
The group were praised by rescuers for their preparedness.
"They did everything right," Tony Waller, a spokesman for the Westpac rescue helicopter said.
"They stayed with the partially submerged boat, and they had their lifejackets on."
