Two Call Outs for Scarborough Lifeboat

Tuesday, 11 May 2021 17:38

By Matthew Pells

Scarborough RNLI has had two shouts today - so far.....

The initial call was for the inshore lifeboat which launched at about 10.30am when a yacht ran aground in the harbour mouth at low tide.

A potting boat rescued the one person aboard and the lifeboat’s crew of three secured the yacht by attaching it to the pier and setting an anchor.

The yacht wasn’t blocking the harbour entrance and refloated when the tide flooded.

Later the all-weather Shannon lifeboat launched at about 12.40pm to assist in a search for a missing person between Scalby Ness and Cloughton Wyke, just north of Scarborough.

The lifeboat, with a crew of six volunteers, spent about an hour and a half scouring the shoreline, along with two teams of coastguards and their helicopter.

The missing person was eventually found.
