Looks like another tow job - this time its two Breton boats from Guilvinec.

With both boats travelling at around 2 knots, it looks like the Breton boat Connemara is towing the Guilvinec registered Eridan to Newlyn. The most common reason for a fishing boat getting a tow in poor weather is as a result of the propellor being fouled by the trawl when hauling in heavy seas.
