Lough Derg RNLI rescue two people on 25ft yacht

Lough Derg RNLI was requested to assist a lone skipper on a 25ft yacht that was aground at Ryan’s Point on the eastern shore of Lough Derg.

Two people on a 25ft yacht were rescued by Lough Derg RNLI on Sunday evening after the vessel’s engine failed and it drifted into a rocky shore.

Just after 5pm on Sunday, the Lough Derg RNLI lifeboat was launched with helm Keith Brennan, Steve Smyth, Joe O’Donoghue, and Richard Nolan on board.
