Belgian Registered MotorYacht

RNLI assistance was provided to a 40-foot Belgian registered motorboat in Swanage Bay last night.

The vessel with three people onboard was in difficulty in the bay some 60m off Swanage Pier and due to the worsening weather Portland Coastguard requested that Poole lifeboat attend to help the boat continue its voyage to Poole.

The lifeboat was launched at approx 19.15 and was on scene approx 40 minutes later.

Hey guys, I wanted to say I really appreciate the assistance yesterday when the weather turned on us. You saved us from what could have turned out to be a real rough night. Thanks again!
