Tall shio towed to Glencaple
An inshore rescue team has been called out to take the disabled "La Malounie" to port on Jan 21, 2019. The alarm was raised at about 10:50 after the 70-tonne vessel suffered a mechanical breakdown off Carsethorn in Dumfries and Galloway. The Nith Inshore Rescue Team was tasked by the Coastguard to tow the vessel which was adrift with mechanical failure and loss of steering in the Nith estuary. The lifeboat quickly launched and commenced a tow, aided with the tidal flow. The tallship was safely berthed at Glencaple for repairs.
