Initially, the yacht was assisted by the motor Cruiser “Callie” who took them on initial tow and informed the Coastguard in Valentia who made the decision to Launch the Crosshaven lifeboat at 7pm. The Volunteer crew made up of Helm Con Crowley with Vincent Fleming and Ritchie Kelleher made their way to the rendezvous between the Cork Bouy and Rennies Point and relieved the motor cruiser of the tow. Crewman Ritchie Kelleher boarded the yacht and helped rig the tow for the 40 minute journey back to Crosshaven where the yacht was secured.
Helm Con Crowley guides the disabled yacht back to Crosshaven whilst Crewman Ritchie Kelleher assists on the yacht.
