Falmouth Coastguard tasked RNLI Dart to assist a fishing boat with engine failure. The two aboard had anchored the boat close to the Homestone buoy. Once it was established that the casualties had no history of Conovid 19 illness, or contact with it, they were asked to go into the cabin and a crewman was placed on the bow of the boat to raise the anchor and to set up the tow. The boat was taken to Dartmouth Harbour and handed into the care of the Dart Harbour Authority just as the Finnish built classic yacht Lulotte was passing. They were then towed to their mooring.
