At 18:08 Falmouth Coastguard requested that Falmouth Inshore Lifeboat be launched following a call from the 34ft Yacht Runcible Moon reporting that she had fouled her propeller on a lobster pot marker off Zone Point.

The Inshore Lifeboat launched from her slipway at 18:14 and arrived on scene at 18:22. The yacht was eventually freed from the lobster pot marker but the propeller could not be cleared so the Inshore Lifeboat towed the yacht to Mylor Harbour where she was safely moored at 19:58, the Inshore Lifeboat being released to return to station.

The Inshore Lifeboat was back on its slipway by 20:20 where it was refuelled, rehoused and was ready for service by 20:35.
