Lifeboats join search for two missing

Sixteen-foot boat last seen in Scotland

Two people aboard a small sixteen foot boat are missing - and Peel and Ramsey lifeboats have joined in the search just off Dumfries and Galloway.

Manx volunteer crews launched at 1am this morning to assist southern Scottish coastguard rescue teams and lifeboats, and a Northern Irish crew, in finding the pair who launched from Port Logan yesterday lunchtime.

Nothing has been found after an overnight search based on the vessel's projected movements.

Two Welsh helicopters are now also on the lookout.

RNLI Headquarters in Poole are coordinating the search parties.
