Scarborough RNLI were called out on Saturday to rescue the RNLI
When one of the charity’s lifeguard jet-skis broke down in the north bay, the inshore lifeboat was despatched to lend a hand.
At high tide, with precious little room for manoeuvre, the powerless jet-ski was drifting towards the rock armour around the castle headland.
The lifeboat launched at about 4.15pm and towed the jet-ski to the middle of the north-bay beach, near the lifeguard station.
Helm Matt Marks commented:
“It shows how useful it is on a jet-ski to have a VHF radio.”
If you see anyone injured or in distress on the coast, dial 999 and ask for the coastguard.
