The Weymouth Inshore Lifeboat was launched last night (22) to assist a yacht which had suffered a total loss of power.
The yacht crew were under instruction from an RYA sail training instructor when the vessel with six people on board lost power.
The 42' sailing training yacht was met by the inshore lifeboat outside of Weymouth Harbour. The lifeboat escorted her as she sailed into the harbour.
When the yacht was well into the harbour a tow was established to enable the yacht to be put alongside a berth near to the Harbour Masters office.
With the yacht safely alongside the lifeboat returned to station at 8.25pm and made ready for its next service.
