Offshore Lifeboat Call
Date : Monday 2nd November 1998

Service : Catamaran "Buster" broken down in adverse weather

Location : King Harry Reach, River Fal

 Falmouth Offshore Lifeboat was launched at 18:20 to assist the 33ft Catamaran "Buster" which had suffered engine failure (lost propeller), at King Harry Reach whilst travelling up the River Fal. The Catamaran was unable to sail due to the adverse weather conditions, and therefore went to anchor.

Once the Offshore Lifeboat located the "Buster" she was taken in tow back to Falmouth where she was safely moored at Port Pendennis Marina.

The Offshore Lifeboat was moored alongside its berth and ready for service by 20:15
