Gearbox failure leads to callout for RNLI and coastguard

Vessel got into difficulty one mile east of Ramsey

A gearbox failure left a boat stricken one mile outside Ramsey Harbour.

Ramsey lifeboat and coastguard was called out to assist the 8-metre day boat yesterday morning.

The RNLI established a tow and brought the vessel back to the shore, with the lifeboat returning to the station just over half an hour after being launched.
