Weymouth Lifeboat has come to the rescue again - this time to help a local angling boat which broke down.

The third call-out over the bank holiday weekend saw the crew head out on Sunday afternoon.

Solent Coastguard requested that the RNLI all-weather lifeboat be launched to reports of the commercial angling boat, Atlanta, with engine failure.

It was reported to be half a mile south of Lulworth Cove.

Weymouth RNLI spokesman Ken Francis said: "On arrival it was quickly established that all on board were safe and well.

"A line was passed and the vessel was towed back to Weymouth Harbour where the angling boat was put back on her normal berth where she could be repaired.

"The lifeboat returned to station where she was refuelled and made ready for the next shout."
