The boat, which had seven people onboard, was inside the outer limit of the Manacles, but was anchored. The All Weather Lifeboat left its berth at 18:30 and headed across Falmouth Bay arriving alongside the casualty at 18:54. A towline was passed to the vessel and once its anchor had been recovered the tow back to Falmouth commenced at 19:10. The boat was towed back to Falmouth Harbour where she was placed on her berth off Custom House Quay at 20:12. The All Weather Lifeboat was back alongside its pontoon berth by 20:20, where it was ready for service by 20:35.
