Ilfracombe lifeboat was launched late on Thursday to tow a yacht back to harbour after its propeller became snagged. The RNLI was called at 11.53pm by sailors aboard the 39ft Maia of Dart, which experienced the problem around one nautical mile from the harbour. The Mersey class lifeboat Spirit of Derbyshire launched and headed towards the boat, reaching it shortly after midnight. After speaking to the two people aboard the vessel, two of the lifeboat crew went aboard and attached a tow line.
