At 10:05 Falmouth Coastguard requested that the Falmouth Inshore Lifeboat be launched following a call from the 32ft Motor Boat Hydra of Herm reporting that she had suffered steering failure while on passage across Falmouth Bay.

The Inshore Lifeboat launched from her slipway at 10:11 arriving alongside the vessel, which was 1 mile South of Pendennis Point at 10:16. Shortly after arriving on scene the vessel reported that it had managed to carryout a temporary repair so the Inshore Lifeboat agreed to escort the boat back into Falmouth.

By 10:58 the vessel was safely moored in Port Pendennis Marina and the Inshore Lifeboat was released to return to station.

The Inshore Lifeboat was back on its slipway by 11:04 where it was refuelled, rehoused and was ready for service by 11:19.
