HELENSBURGH’S lifeboat crew went to the rescue of a leisure craft which got into difficulty off Cove Bay.
The RNLI volunteers were called out at 6.10pm on Tuesday, October 15 to go to the aid of an eight-metre yacht, which had three people on board and had got a creel pot line wrapped around its propeller near Barons Point.
The lifeboat was launched at 6.24pm and reached the vessel 11 minutes later.
