Porthcawl RNLI’s volunteer crew were tasked by HM Coastguard following a report that a small power boat was drifting off the seafront and at risk of running aground on rocks.

The charity’s Atlantic 85 lifeboat Rose of the Shires made best speed to the location. Once on scene the helm assessed the situation and made the decision the best way to help the casualties onboard the power boat was to take it under tow away from the rocks. The vessel was then towed back to the marina.

In a coastal emergency dial 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard.
