The St Catherine’s Lifeboat was rallied just before 5 pm on Sunday to assist the stricken vessel.
The boat’s primary engine had failed and, unable to make any progress with the auxiliary motor in the choppy conditions and strong winds, the crew had thrown out an anchor and radioed for help.
The lifeboat transferred the three crew members to their vessel and towed their boat back to St Catherine’s, where it was returned to its mooring.
