The Isle of Inishmore recently diverted from her scheduled crossing from Pembroke to Rosslare to provide assistance to a small sailing yacht that had suffered an engine failure in addition to a problem with their mainsail until such a time that the RNLI arrived at the scene to tow the vessel in to Milford Haven.
Senior Master Gerry Burns assisted the yachts communications to the coast guard, as well as providing cover to their yacht by circling them with the Isle of Inishmore!
Below is a picture of the stricken yacht, Vickie, along with a copy of their note of thanks, reproduced with their kind permission.
