in the water attempting to refloat the vessel in 1m breaking
surf.
The crew from the previous service (see below) were still

immediately.
On arrival at the scene, the casualty vessel - Kazzy Ann,
a 5m cabin cruiser with 3 persons on board - had been refloated

subsequently escorted to Polly Steps.
During this service another vessel ventured too close
to the sandbar and was almost knocked-over, the lifeboat
stood-by until this potential casualty regained control.
Subsequent to this service the boat owner
wrote to the station to thank the crew, informing them that
at the request of his children he had immediately joined
the RNLI as an Offshore Member, and also that would be seeking
advice from the local 'SeaCheck' safety advisor!

Young men rescue skipper from sinking crabber
The
Teignmouth RNLI lifeboat 'Frank & Dorothy' was launched
to the assistance of an inshore crabber 'Faith' SC84, sinking
near the twin green light marker post on the Point. The fishing
vessel was observed throwing out crab pots in an effort to
stay afloat, but filled with water from the stern and went
down on her side just out of the main shipping channel.
The
IRB arrived on scene 1 minute after launching, but the one
person on board had been recovered from the wheelhouse door
which was already under water, by 2 young men who dived into
the water without fear for their own safety.
The
lifeboat stood by with 2 crew members entering the water to
help attach lines and pump out the casualty vessel which was
lying on its side. Recovery and salvage was carried out by
the Coastguard, the Harbour Masters' launch, and the vessel
'Spot-On', with the lifeboat standing-by whilst persons were
in the water carrying out the salvage operation. The lifeboat
was stood-down at 11:35.
The
2 young men who recovered the casualty (Orne Vince) were Michael
Kingsley (son of lifeboat helm Simon Kingsley, and Dan Gregory
who is on the waiting list to join the Teignmouth Lifeboat
crew. |
