00:08 Volunteers from Eastbourne's RNLI were called out to assist a 30ft yacht which had suffered

00:12 from engine failure.

00:13 The volunteer crew were paged at 1.30am on Tuesday October 10th and requested to launch

00:18 the all-weather lifeboat to take over the tow of a 30ft yacht which had suffered from

00:22 engine failure from volunteers from Rye RNLI.
