A 16-foot Raider craft, which suffered engine failure off Skokholm Island, was towed to safety by RNLI Angle's all-weather lifeboat on Saturday.

The Tamar class lifeboat Mark Mason was launched, at the request of Milford Haven Coastguard, at 1.20 pm to go to the aid of the craft, which had one person on board.

Initially, the casualty's position was uncertain due to poor communications, but it was subsequently established as being north-east of Skokholm.

On arrival at the scene, the lifeboat took the vessel in tow and brought her to Hobbs Point, Pembroke Dock.

Once the casualty vessel was alongside the pier, the lifeboat was released to return to her station, being refuelled and ready for service again at 3.50 pm.
