Port St Mary RNLI go to the aid of yacht adrift

Fri, 05 Jul 2019

Port St Mary RNLI were paged by Belfast Coastguard, to go to the aid of a yacht adrift in calm conditions one mile south east of the Chicken Rock lighthouse last night.

The all-weather lifeboat Gough Ritchie 2, under the command of Coxswain Mark Pendlebury, launched immediately and made its way to the casualty under clear conditions.

Having assessed that the one person on board was safe and well, a tow was established between Port St Mary and the casualty, which was then safely towed back to Port St Mary Harbour.
