The yacht entered made fast alongside the Penlee lifeboat...
had been en-route from Milford haven when she suffered a total steering breakdown - this update from Penlee lifeboat:
"RNLI Penlee’s all-weather Severn Class Lifeboat the Ivan Ellen was tasked by Falmouth Coastguards at 6:30am on 28th September 2024 to assist a 47 foot sailing ketch 6 miles south of Porthcurno. The Ivan Ellen under command of Coxswain Amy Smith, Mechanic Tony Rendle and a crew of RNLI volunteers made best speed to the casualty which had suffered complete steering failure. A risk assessment was undertaken by the coxswain and considering the casualty had no means of steering and gales were forecast it was decided to tow the vessel to the nearest safe port - Newlyn. The lifeboat arrived in Newlyn at 9:30am the same day, where the casualty was safely moored pending repairs and the lifeboat prepared for the next shout."
windfarm service vessel, Farra Maev, the shape of things to come in Newlyn...
good to see Barry on the mackerel.
