Angle All-Weather Lifeboat launched on Sunday afternoon, October 13 following a call for assistance from the skipper of a 30ft yacht in Dale Anchorage. The vessel was suffering from electrical issues.

The lifeboat was soon with the vessel. They found the yacht at anchor, but with an increasing easterly wind expected overnight the skipper was reluctant to remain in the area.

The crew swiftly set about rigging a tow and before long the yacht was safely under tow, bound for Milford Marina.

Once off the entrance to the docks channel, the yacht was transferred into an alongside tow and taken safely into the marina.

With no further assistance required, the lifeboat departed and was back alongside the jetty, readied for further service by 6pm.
