Falmouth Severn Class All Weather Lifeboat - RNLB Richard Cox Scott (17-29)

At 11:38 Falmouth Coastguard requested that Falmouth All Weather Lifeboat be launched to assist in the evacuation of an unconscious female onboard the Charter Boat Blue Pointer which was in a position 1 mile Southeast of Porthallow.

The All Weather Lifeboat left its pontoon berth at 11:48 and arrived on scene at 12:10. Having assessed the casualties’ condition she was transferred to the lifeboat and was brought back to the lifeboat station at Falmouth where she was transferred to a waiting ambulance.

The All Weather Lifeboat was back alongside its pontoon berth by 12:53. The lifeboat was then refuelled, and was ready for service by 13:10.

The casualty had recovered consciousness by the time the lifeboat arrived and her condition gradually improved during the journey back to Falmouth.
