 ALB and ILB
 
Request from Coastguard to assist a 33 foot yacht on passage in the Firth of Forth approximately 5 miles SE of Anstruther, with four persons on board and having both mechanical and sail problems.
 
ALB launched and located the casualty making very slow progress.
 
ALB escorted the casualty to the harbour mouth but because of tidal restrictions the ILB was launched to assist the casualty to berth safely at Anstruther.
 
ALB later rehoused.
