Filey RNLI's new lifeboat receives first call-out

The lifeboat was launched at about 7.30pm (July 1) last night to assist in a mutli-agency search for a missing person.

The boat's crew of four returned after the missing person was found close to Cayton Bay by coastguard teams.

A Filey RNLI spokesperson said: "I think it's true to say that the crew were pleased that the new boat has been called into action and it has performed very well."

In April, Filey bid farewell to its resident all-weather lifeboat after 350 missions - and it has now been replaced.
