HM Coastguard paged LNR at 14:51hrs and requested the Ardboe lifeboat launch to the aid of a small yacht with 3 persons on board that had obtained damage to its rudder just outside of Ballyronan marina.
The lifeboat launched and proceeded to the area and located the casualty vessel. Having obtained consent to set up a tow the vessel was towed safely into Ballyronan marina and secured to the jetty.
All units were stood down and returned to base.
For emergencies on Lough Neagh and it’s tributary rivers call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
