KEY POINTS:
The coastguard was called out to rescue three men clinging to rocks about 200m from shore off Worser Bay, Wellington, this morning.
Police said the men had been in a small boat, possibly a dinghy, which sank, leaving them too far out to swim for dry land.
Emergency services were contacted around 8.30am and the men were picked up about half an hour later.
