At 13:26 Falmouth Coastguard requested that Falmouth Inshore Lifeboat be launched following a call from the 34ft Yacht Islander reporting that she was off the mouth of the Helford River and had a fouled propeller.

The Inshore Lifeboat launched from her slipway at 13:30 and arrived on scene at 13:40. The yacht was soon located and with the assistance of the Inshore Lifeboat crew was freed from the fishing gear and continued on its passage, the Inshore Lifeboat being released to return to station at 14:19.

The Inshore Lifeboat was back on its slipway by 14:40 where it was refuelled, rehoused and was ready for service by 14:55.
