Lifeboats paged at 22.04 by Belfast Coastguard to a broken down speedboat near Gawleys gate with 4 persons on board.
Lifeboats quickly launched and proceeded to the area to find the broken down vessel. Once alongside the boat a tow line was attached. The broken down boat was then taken to Sandy Bay marina and tied up alongside the jetty by the awaiting coastguard team onshore.
Boat returned to base at midnight, refuelled and made ready for next tasking
For emergencies on Lough Neagh and it’s tributary rivers call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
