A lone sailor was given a helping hand by Cowes RNLI lifeboat this afternoon after he informed Solent coastguards his 27 foot yacht had engine trouble.
The yacht, Solitaire, was in mid-Solent near West Bramble buoy when he broadcast his problem just before 2.45 pm. Cowes’ Atlantic 85 lifeboat, Tabby Cat, helmed by Gary Payne, towed the yacht back to its River Medina mooring at the Folly.
