The Lough Derg RNLI Lifeboat was called into action last evening.
The crew went to the assistance of two people on board a 35ft cruiser which had suffered steering failure.
The alarm was raised just after 5.30pm as weather conditions were beginning to deteriorate.
The cruiser was en route from Dromineer to Mountshannon when it developed steering problems.
The skipper attempted to return to Dromineer but on entering Dromineer Bay the steering failed completely and he requested assistance.
The RNLI Lifeboat towed the cruiser to the safety of Dromineer Harbour – both people on board the vessel were unharmed.
