A 49-year-old Irish woman who died after the luxury boat she was sailing in was ripped apart by rocks off South Africa's Western Cape has been named as Rachel Daly.
 
A Scottish man George Mills (61) was also killed, while it is understood Ms Daly's husband PJ Daly - also from Ireland - was injured when local yacht the 'Tara' ran aground.
They were the only three people on board the vessel at the time.
All three are said to be resident in the Western Cape area.
The incident occurred between Bokpunt and Gansekraal off the west coast during the early hours of yesterday.

Three rescue crews and police dive teams responded to the incident shortly after 4.30am local time.
