Lifeboat crews were called to help a yacht in difficulty earlier this week.
Douglas lifeboat was launched just before 11pm on Monday to aid a 30ft vessel.
Three people were on board and had been making for Douglas, having left Anglesey earlier in the day.
However, they ran into difficulty around 25 miles south east of Douglas - due to a drop in wind and engine failure.
The yacht was taken under tow back to Douglas harbour.
