Launches
A 31ft yacht with two men on board, on passage from Plymouth to Brixham, became becalmed at sea and they were unable to start her engine. They contacted the Coastguard who paged the RNLI Dart Atlantic 75, B-795, Staines Whitfield. She has taken the place of B-794. B-795 was originally at RNLI Burnham on Sea until she was replaced with an Atlantic 85.
The yacht was towed to the Town Quay.
