Yacht brought to safety after getting into difficulty in Donegal

A yacht has been brought to safety after getting into difficulty near Portsalon in Donegal yesterday.

The crew on board were said to be finding it difficult to moor in poor weather conditions.

Lough Swilly RNLI were tasked to the scene by Malin Head Coastguard just before 10.30 yesterday morning.

The All Weather Lifeboat was launched at Buncrana Pier and the volunteer crew quickly made their way to the yacht with two people on board.

The volunteers helped secure the yacht and when they were happy with both boat and crew, they returned to Buncrana.
