At 19:27 as Falmouth Inshore Lifeboat was securing a previous casualty vessel at Mylor Harbour, Falmouth Coastguard requested that the Inshore Lifeboat proceed to assist a 2.5m Rigid Inflatable with four persons onboard which had been reported as being broken down off Swanpool.

The Inshore Lifeboat arrived on scene at 19:34 and located the boat drifting to seaward due to the offshore wind. The boat was taken in tow back to Swanpool Beach where it was safely landed, and having obtained the casualties details the Inshore Lifeboat was released to return to station at 20:16.

The Inshore Lifeboat was back on its slipway by 20:30 where it was refuelled, rehoused and was ready for service by 20:45.
