Lifeboat rescues four people stranded on yacht out at sea
A lifeboat has rescued four people on board a yacht after they encountered steerage problems out at sea.
Weymouth lifeboat launched at 6.30pm on Monday and travelled about 10 miles south east of Weymouth Harbour out to a yacht which had its rudder broken.
Once they were with the four stranded crew members, the lifeboat crew had to stream the drogue of the boat before towing it back to the harbour at 10.30pm.
