Cowes RNLI lifeboat assists vintage yacht with engine troubles in Osborne Bay

A vintage yacht that suffered engine trouble in a wind-tossed Osborne Bay this morning (Friday) resulted in the launching of Cowes RNLI lifeboat.

After launching at 11.20am the lifeboat took the yacht, crewed by two men, in tow and eventually it was moored at Trinity Landing.

The 37 foot boat, over 70 years old, had set out from Chichester.
