Tenby's all-weather Tamar class lifeboat was requested to launch at 1.45 pm on Wednesday after Milford Haven Coastguard received a report from the sail training vessel Stavros Niachros that they had spotted a yacht adrift off St. Govans.

After identifying that the vessel had been moored in Dale and somehow parted its moorings overnight and drifted to its present position, a volunteer crew member was put on board to secure a tow rope and the yacht was towed to Tenby and put on a secure mooring.
