RNLI rescued by RNLI in Scarborough

Scarborough RNLI were called out on Saturday to rescue the RNLI

When one of the charity’s lifeguard jet-skis broke down in the north bay, the inshore lifeboat was despatched to lend a hand.

At high tide, with precious little room for manoeuvre, the powerless jet-ski was drifting towards the rock armour around the castle headland.

The lifeboat launched at about 4.15pm and towed the jet-ski to the middle of the north-bay beach, near the lifeguard station.

Helm Matt Marks commented:

“It shows how useful it is on a jet-ski to have a VHF radio.”

If you see anyone injured or in distress on the coast, dial 999 and ask for the coastguard.
