The Barmouth inshore lifeboat was launched at 7:45pm Sunday 24th April 2011, to the aid of two teenage girls in Barmouth harbour. The girls had paddled out in an inflatable dinghy and climbed aboard Cobweb, one of the yachts moored in the harbour.
Their inflatable floated away on the ebbing tide, leaving them stranded aboard the yacht with the yacht’s concerned owner on the shore wondering why they had boarded the boat and unsure of their intentions. It was fine calm evening and the girls were in no immediate danger, but were taken off the boat by the ILB crew.
