Dunmore East RNLI lifeboat launched a service on Sunday morning, after a lone sailor on 10m yacht 15 miles got into difficulty on South West of Dunmore East Co.Waterford
The yacht had lost its rudder and was adrift 1 mile from the shore in moderate sea conditions.
The volunteer crew of the Trent Class Dunmore East RNLI lifeboat ‘Elizabeth and Ronald’ located the stricken yacht drifting towards the shore with a strong southerly wind.
