Scarborough RNLI assist 46ft yacht after engine failure endangered those onboard
On Monday, September 14, Scarborough RNLI’s all-weather lifeboat (ALB) was tasked to assist a 46ft yacht into Scarborough Harbour.
Scarborough RNLI attended a call out in the early evening to help the yacht that had come into difficulty within the harbour.
A Scarborough RNLI spokesperson said: “The yacht had suffered both electrical and engine failure, and with its anchor dragging, assistance was required to ensure the safety of those on board and the vessel.
“Once safely inside the harbour, the lifeboat returned to station where the crew recovered, washed down and refuelled the ALB, making it ready for service once again.
“Finally, a reminder that could save a life: if you see anyone in difficulty in or around the sea, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.”
