A YACHT has capsized about six kilometres off the Noosa Coast amid six metre swells with the skipper flown to Nambour Hospital with a back injury.
A helicopter winched him off the Aus Maid, which was eight nautical miles northeast of Noosa Heads, after the yacht was dismasted earlier in the day.
He was flown to Maroochydore and taken to hospital by ambulance with suspected back injuries.

A boat builder has walked free from a Sydney court after being acquitted of manslaughter charges over a yacht sinking that killed four people.
Keel welder Adrian Presland was found not guilty, but the NSW District Court jury is yet to reach a verdict on his co-accused Alex Cittadini, the director and engineer at Applied Alloy Yachts in Melbourne.
The yacht, Excalibur, hit rough seas near Seal Rocks off the NSW mid-north coast as it sailed from the Whitsundays to Sydney in September 2002.
