Last night the ILB along with the IRT were tasked to Studland and a 42ft yacht. The yacht was having problems with their steering, anchored but concerned with the weather they would drift into the shipping lane.
Swanage ILB launched and was soon along side to resolve the issue - a rope around the rudder? Something broken?
Er no, the auto helm was switched on, the ILB turned it off and hey presto job done.
So efficient were the lifeboat crew the IRT had not even managed to get to Old Harry to observe the situation.
From your lifejacket to your boat....make sure you know how things work
