New Quay and Pwllheli’s all-weather lifeboats worked together to rescue the crew of the Galasma on 6 September. The yacht, with fi ve people onboard, was having trouble in a force 8 northerly wind. Rough seas meant she wasn’t making much headway under engine power, and she was low on fuel. New Quay’s lifeboat was launched just after midday, with Pwllheli’s (pictured) taking over the tow at about 4pm and bringing the casualty home just before 10pm.
