YACHTMASTER RESCUE
A Yachtmaster chief instructor will be ‘forever grateful’ for RNLI assistance after both props became entangled on his 43ft motor vessel Millbrook at night.
Director of You & Sea, Euan Carruthers, and four students were returning to Rhu Marina from a night navigation exercise. They were 0.3 miles off Kilcregan, being blown towards shore.
After issuing a Pan-Pan call to Belfast Coastguard, and while waiting for the RNLI Helensburgh volunteers’ tow, the crew deployed the anchor and stopped drifting.
