A pleasure boat with dual engine failure was towed to safety by Scarborough lifeboat crew on Sunday.

A pleasure boat drifting close to the coast of Scarborough was towed to safety by a local lifeboat crew on Sunday, October 18. The craft suffered dual engine failure in the South Bay area.

Scarborough Lifeboat Station's RNLI volunteer inshore lifeboat crew had been carrying out a routine training exercise when it was called to assist. The crew launched promptly and made its way to the casualty vessel. Once on scene, the volunteer crew secured the craft and established a tow.

The vessel was then safely towed back to Scarborough Harbour. After completing the tow and ensuring the vessel was safely alongside, the inshore lifeboat returned to the lifeboat station where it was recovered, washed down, refuelled and made ready for service.
