The Purbeck Isle fishing vessel, pictured in June 2011
THE search for three missing fishermen is continuing.
Weymouth Lifeboat is expected to return to refuel and resume the search.
The Purbeck Isle went missing around 6pm last night after it failed to return to port.
Lee Fisher, of the Portland Coastguard, said: “I want to reassure the people of Weymouth that HM Coastguard, with the support of other organisations, is doing all it can to get a positive outcome.”
