The Atlantic 75 Lifeboat was called into action early today to assist an 11m sailing vessel which had run aground on the Swallowtail.

When the Lifeboat reached the stricken vessel, the crew secured a tow and pulled her into deeper water. The vessel then made her way on to her destination and the Lifeboat returned to station.
