Rosslare Harbour RNLI has come to the assistance of a lone sailor who alerted the Irish Coast Guard that his yacht was in difficulty off the Kilmuckridge coast.
Arriving on scene it was discovered that the yacht had developed engine trouble and, fortunately, the crew were able to fix the problem, and the yacht was able to continue to its destination.
Weather conditions were calm with good visibility at the time.
Speaking following the call out, Jamie Ryan, Rosslare Harbour RNLI Lifeboat Operations Manager Jamie Ryan complimented all involved: “We would like to commend the sailor for contacting the Coast Guard when they knew they were in difficulty and for having all the necessary safety and communication equipment on board,” he stated.
