RNLI Aldeburgh relief inshore lifeboat launched this afternoon to assist a yacht that had run aground.

Once on scene it was apparent it was the same casualty yacht from the ALB rescue last night. Due to the winds and sea state, the yacht had had to be abandoned and left to drift, as agreed with the Coastguard.

The ILB crew secured the casualty using the yacht’s anchor, which was challenging due to the continuing strong winds.

The ILB was stood down and returned to station.
