HM Coastguard paged Porthcawl RNLI’s volunteer crew following a request for assistance from a yacht which was struggling in the prevailing conditions off Ogmore deeps whilst passaging to Cardiff.

Porthcawl’s Atlantic 85 Rose of the Shires was launched on service and proceeded to the yacht’s location. A crew member went onboard the yacht and established its crew were now feeling more confident in the conditions and were happy to continue on their passage towards Cardiff. As a result the crew were stood down and returned to station.
