TWO men were rescued by a lifeboat after their fishing boat broke down.

The crew of the Lyme Regis RNLI lifeboat were called out on Wednesday, July 27 – for the second time during Lifeboat Week – to assist two men aboard a broken down 16ft fishing boat.

The boat had suffered electrical failure half a mile off West Bay.

The lifeboat crew towed the fishing vessel to safety in West Bay harbour.
