Scarborough Lifeboat Rescue For Stricken Yacht

A sailing yacht needed help from Scarborough RNLI on Wednesday evening, just off the town's coast.

Scarborough RNLI's all-weather lifeboat was called out to reports of a 30-foot sailing yacht suffering engine trouble and insufficient wind to sail.

Arriving on the scene, around six miles from Scarborough, the volunteer crew towed the yacht and brought her and her crew back to the safety of Scarborough Harbour.

The RNLI added that if you see anyone injured or in distress, on the coast, dial 999 and ask for the coastguard.

This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.

If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.

A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
