Following a similar incident only a few days ago Peel RNLI lifeboat "Ruby Clery" has again assisted a yacht in trouble with fuel problems.

The 35 foot yacht "Brown Eyes" was only about a mile from Peel when it encountered difficulties today (Tues. 16th.July). The yacht with one person on board was about half a mile off Peel Hill and was unable to manoeuvre to enter Peel.

The lifeboat with coxswain John Hunter launched shortly after 3pm. put one of the RNLI volunteer crew on board and quickly returned to Peel harbour.
