Third trip out for lifeboat in two days

It proved to be a busy week for the Douglas RNLI after its third lifeboat callout in two days.

Crews were dispatched shortly after 9.30am on Monday morning after a three-man yacht got into difficulty 10 miles off the east coast.

The vessel's mainsail had been torn in the wind, which led to an overheated enging in the worsening conditions.

Volunteers from the all-weather Sir Wiliam Hillary managed to tow the beleagured boat back to harbour without incident in under an hour - though all of those onboard were suffering from a 'nasty' bout of sea sickness.
