The crew were quickly at the scene where an RNLI volunteer went on board the yacht and found no ingress of water or damage to the hull.
Given the yacht’s location and the possibility of initiating another emergency response should the vessel be left where it was, the helm made the decision to take the vessel off the sandbank and towed it to safety in Dromineer Harbour.
