The Coastguard requested the Lifeboat to take a Paramedic to a 60ft Motor Cruiser berthed in Dartmouth Harbour. She and the Paramedic on the lifeboat crew assessed the casualty as being seriously ill and requiring immediate transfer to Hospital. The lifeboat returned to the Dartmouth shore to collect another three crew and the six fully First Aid trained volunteers were able to lower the casualty on their stretcher down into the lifeboat. He was taken to a waiting ambulance on the Lower Ferry slip for onward transfer to Torbay Hospital.
