27/07/09 - Sailor Towed To Safety Off Shoebury

 A LIFEBOAT towed a boat to safety off Shoebury.

The RNLI Atlantic lifeboat launched from the pier at Southend around 7.15pm on Saturday, to help a lone sailor on a 19ft yacht a mile off the shore at Shoebury.

There were problems with the boat’s engines so lifeboat members towed it back to a safe mooring near Benfleet Yacht Club in Canvey Road, Canvey.
