Rescue services hailed as heroes
As George David, the American millionaire owner of the stricken Rambler 100 yacht recovered from Monday’s ordeal, he led tributes to the brave Baltimore RNLI crew and the Irish Coast Guard who were involved in their dramatic rescue off the south coast.
“The fact that we had a 100% outcome with no tragedy is due to the skills and professionalism and calm behaviour displayed by the crew,” Mr David said.
