Scarborough and Flamborough lifeboats work together to rescue yacht
On Tuesday evening (August 11), Scarborough RNLI's all-weather lifeboat (ALB) was launched to assist a 25ft yacht that had suffered engine failure off Flamborough Head.
The yacht was initially taken under tow by Flamborough RNLI's Atlantic 85 lifeboat, with Scarborough's ALB assuming the tow off Filey.
On arrival at Scarborough Harbour, the yacht was brought safely alongside by the ALB and handed over to HM Coastguard, with the inshore lifeboat (ILB) standing by to assist if required.
Both lifeboats then returned to station, where they were refuelled, washed down and made ready for service.
