St Davids all weather lifeboat launched last night (Thursday) to the aid of a vessel involved with the installation of the Tidal Energy Project in the Ramsey Sound.
At 7.10pm the 42ft guard vessel Valkyrie with two crew onboard suffered a fouled propeller. The vessel was working alongside the lifeboat slipway.
As the lifeboat crew was mustering, the Valkyrie managed to free her propeller, but requested the lifeboat to tow her into open water and escort her while she carried out engine trials.
Once the skipper of the vessel was satisfied with the boat’s performance, the lifeboat was stood down returning to her moorings at 8pm.
