The fishing vessel under tow to Milford by Angle RNLI’s all weather Tamar class lifeboat Mark Mason.
A FISHING boat had to be towed to safety, after its engines failed near Dale on Sunday (May 27).
Angle RNLI’s all weather lifeboat was alerted by the coastguard at around 7am, to reports of a 25-metre vessel experiencing problems around eight miles off St Ann's Head.
Four people were on board the 207-tonne vessel.
The Tamar class lifeboat Mark Mason was launched at 7.16am and once on scene, at 8.02am, a tow was rigged and a course was set for Milford Docks.
On arrival, the fishing vessel was placed on a tug mooring in East Angle Bay, as there was insufficient water to allow entry into the Docks.
The lifeboat was then released and returned to her station, where she was rehoused at 11.50am, after over four hours at sea.
