Boat assisted by lifeboat after losing engine power
AN 18ft Rib boat had to be assisted after suffering engine failure.
Clacton RNLI launched the Atlanta 85 to attend to the boat seven miles off the coast with two people on board just after 3pm on Saturday.
The lifeboat crew were made aware the boat had regained power after launch however they continued and met the boat, ensuring its safe return to Point Clear.
The boat and crew were met by the Clacton Coastguard.
