Lifeboats Rescue Yachts Off Peel And Douglas Coast

Peel lifeboat was launched yesterday to rescue a 49 foot traditional yacht which was having problems with its fuel supply.

The yacht was travelling from the West Coast of Scotland to Haven when it got into trouble just a few miles off the Peel Coast just before 5PM.

Four crew who were onboard were towed back to Peel.

Meanwhile at the same time a yacht was being escorted into Douglas by a lifeboat after separate issue with fuel supply.

Douglas coastguard met the passenger onboard who was uninjured.
