No 27 & 28
16/09/16 09:27 – 12:50
​ALB ILB

Both lifeboats requested by Aberdeen Coastguard to assist a 27ft yacht with a broken tiller that was dragging its moorings towards rocks at the entrance to Elie harbour with two persons on board.
The casualty was in 5 m of water insufficient for the ALB to operate efficiently.
The ILB executed an alongside tow with the casualty, into safe waters, where the ALB took up an astern tow to Pittenweem harbour.
The ILB set up a brake whilst entering Pittenweem harbour, where the casualty was safely moored alongside.
Both Lifeboats returned to Anstruther to rehouse, as not further assistance required.

Weather – Part cloudy
Visibility - Good
Wind – Gentle breeze 135
