HM Coastguard paged LNR at 17:05hrs and requested that the Kinnego and Ardboe lifeboats launch to the aid of a yacht that was believed to be aground in the Deerpark area. Both lifeboats launched and commenced the search, the vessel was located by the Kinnego lifeboat where the team liaised with the skipper and confirmed that all was well.
Both lifeboats stood down and returned to base.
For emergencies on Lough Neagh and it’s tributary rivers call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
