Scarborough Lifeboat Called Out To Stricken Sailor

Saturday, 1 May 2021 09:27

A paramedic was winched from the helicopter down to the fishing boat, three miles out to sea, off Scarborough, on Friday.

At one point, it looked as if the crew member would be transferred to the lifeboat to be taken ashore, but the paramedic determined that the crew member could be taken ashore by the fishing boat.

It was the second of two call-outs involving fishing boats by the lifeboat on the same day. The first one involved an engine fire.

The charity's lifeboat was crewed by volunteers.

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.

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