TOWED: Broken down yacht towed to safety Picture: HARTLEPOOL RNLI
BROKEN down yacht towed to dock after early morning call-out for Hartlepool RNLI volunteers.
The crew were scrambled at 6.15am by Humber Coastguard to assist a 10 metre yacht with one person on board that had suffered mechanical failure in the nearby Victoria Dock.
The inshore launched at 6.31am and was alongside the vessel almost immediately where it was taken under tow to a berth at the nearby Kafiga Landings.
