Two lifeboats called outs over power boat

A small boat was the subject of a double call out involving lifeboat crews from Arbroath and Broughty Ferry on a weekend trip along the Angus coast.

The vessel was helped by Arbroath RNLI volunteers after hitting engine trouble on Saturday morning – but just a few hours later then ran out of fuel as it limped to Dundee, leading to a second call-out involving the Broughty Ferry crew.

A member of the public alerted Arbroath personnel to the 17-foot power boat which had suffered engine trouble just outside the town harbour.
