Rip
Tide Chaos
The Lifeboat was launched at the request
of the Deputy Launching Authority during a fierce rip tide on
the Teign Estuary.
Prior to the incident a local fishing vessel lost control in the
strong rip tide on the Shaldon side of the Teign Estuary, and
collided overturning a moored vessel.
The
Lifeboat was launched to a local 20ft motor-sailer caught by the
rip tide, which then collided with several moored vessels and
subsequently dismasted both herself and another yacht resulting
in both vessels entangled in their damaged rigging, but preventing
any further damage by the out-of-control casualty.
The
2 persons on board were recovered and taken to Shaldon. Due to
the strong tide, the Lifeboat returned to Station at 19:50 and
relaunched at 20:25 during slack water to recover the casualty
from the other damaged vessel. The Lifeboat towed the casualty
back to its mooring where the owner rejoined it. The Lifeboat
then finally returned to Station at 21:05
