Bembridge RNLI’s inshore lifeboat was tasked to assist a broken down RIB yesterday evening (Sunday).
The D-Class ‘Norman Harvey’ inshore lifeboat launched at around 17:55 at the request of Solent Coastguard to assist a RIB that had broken down in Priory Bay with two people onboard.
It was quickly ascertained that a local repair was not possible so the RIB was towed back to its berth in Bembridge Harbour.
The lifeboat was back at Lane End by 18:45.
