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.
