Flamborough Lifeboat Rescues Kayaker

The volunteer crew were called out late last night.

Flamborough RNLI launched yesterday (15 July) at 9:50pm at the request of UK Coastguard, following a report of a person with a paddle board, in difficulty and shouting for help, east of South Landing.

Volunteer crew located the casualty, who was in the water with his Kayak at 9:55pm.

The casualty was taken on board and returned to Flamborough RNLI Lifeboat Station where he was handed to the care of Coastguard personnel.

The tractor and lifeboat were cleaned refuelled and prepared for the next service.

This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.

If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.

A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
