Whilst attending a very successful Antrim Boat Club Open Day 2024 Lifeboats were tasked by Belfast Coastguard at 16:56

to reports of a 21ft Motor Cruiser which had broken down at Gartree Point. The boat was located and towed to Sandy Bay (Crumlin Marina) where we handed the casualties and vessel over to Lough Neagh Coastguard Rescue Team. 

Before returning home we were made aware of another vessel which might be in difficulty, but in further investigation this was deemed a false alarm.
