Members of Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team were called out after strong winds blew a sailing boat into the middle of Ullswater.
The sailor had lost control when trying to moor at Fairfield Marina.
The team responded using their rescue boat The John Scott and located the boat and sailor in the trees on the opposite shore near the Sharrow Bay Hotel.
The sailor was unhurt and the sailing boat was towed back to its berth at the marina. The rescue lasted two hours and involved seven team members.
