Barmouth lifeboat was called out at 3.30pm on Easter Monday, 25th April to assist a local catamaran with three persons on board.
The yacht’s engine had failed and the crew were unable to beat against the ebbing tide to return to Barmouth. The all-weather lifeboat The Moira Barrie was despatched and the crew passed a line to the yacht which was off Caerddaniel Caravan Park, Llanaber. The catamaran was then towed to the safety of Barmouth harbour.
