Lifeboats paged at 14:43 by Belfast Coastguard to reports of a 24ft yacht which had lost power near Antrim. Once on scene it was established the vessel had lost power and run aground. After checking the casualty vessel, a tow was connected and the vessel pulled free. Once free we towed the vessel to its mooring located within the Antrim Marina.

Lifeboats then returned to station, washed and refuelled and ready for service.
