At 7:26 PM on Thursday, the volunteer crew from Brighton RNLI received an urgent call to assist a 30-foot yacht located one mile southeast of Brighton Marina. The distress call reported that a fire had broken out on board, which had been contained, but the yacht’s engine remained non-functional.
Upon arrival, the crew found a lone individual aboard the yacht, visibly shaken by the recent ordeal. The onboard crew member provided initial assistance and assessment of the situation. A towing line was swiftly attached, and the yacht was safely towed back to Brighton Marina.
