LNR Paged at 11.22am and tasked by the Coastguard to a 22ft sailing boat that had ran aground near Tolans Flat with 3 persons on board and was almost on its side.
Lifeboats quickly made their way to the scene and located the vessel. Crew members entered the water and brought the three casualties onboard to the safety of our lifeboats.
Crew then managed to get a tow line attached so they could move the stricken vessel into deeper water. The casualty vessel was then towed to Kinnego Marina and tied up at its own mooring
Lifeboats returned to base to be refuelled, washed and made ready for next tasking.
