Douglas RNLI called out to help fishing boat in difficulty

Lifeboat crews were called out at the weekend after a fishing boat got into difficulty off the Island's coast.

Just before 12.40pm on Saturday (March 20) Douglas lifeboat was called to help a ten-metre fishing vessel,  which had become caught up in the nets of another boat and those on board were unable to remove them.

After arriving at the scene, it was established the two people on board weren't in need of any immediate assistance.

The fishing boat was then taken under tow back to the Island capital.
