Capsize AFTER CAPSIZING several times offLligwy Beach on Sunday, July 18, the crew of a sailing dinghy were finally unable to right their boat and were drifting seawards.

HM Coastguard informed the honorary secretary of Moelfre lifeboat station of the situation at 1419, and the ILB was launched three minutes later.

There was a moderate to fresh southwesterly breeze, good visibility, a moderate sea and it was two hours before high water. The ILB came up with the casualty at 1429 and, having taken her occupants on board, righted the dinghy and took her in tow to Lligwy Beach where her crew of two were put ashore after having received treatment for shock.

The ILB returned to her station and was rehoused at 1510..
