Scarborough RNLI’s inshore lifeboat was called out last night when a jetski got into difficulties in the north bay.
The crew of three volunteers were told where it had last been spotted and were just about to start a search pattern when they found it. The driver and his partner were on the beach.
The jetski was upside down and partly submerged in the choppy water, about a quarter of a mile out to sea.
The lifeboat team were aware that the jetski could become a hazard to navigation and decided it was safe to tow it to shore, where they were helped by coastguards.
It emerged that the driver had forgotten to insert a drain plug which had allowed the engine to flood.
