A yacht and its crew of three were brought to safety by RNLI lifeboat on Saturday (9 Oct) after it got into difficulties in Conwy Bay off Penmaenmawr.
The skipper of the 47′ Mahalya radioed Holyhead Coastguard to ask for assistance when the yacht experienced a propeller problem as it was about to enter the approach channel to Conwy under power.
The fault was preventing the craft from making headway in the ebbing tide and blustery conditions. Llandudno’s all-weather lifeboat ‘Andy Pearce’ launched at 12.30pm and reaching the casualty a short while later was able to take her in tow to Deganwy Marina, where she was berthed safely; the casualty’s crew were unharmed.
