Beaumaris lifeboat was called out to a mayday on 25 May.

A 7m boat had a rope caught around her propeller. Without power, she was drifting fast – when the lifeboat arrived on scene she was just 3m away from the rocks off Puffin Island. The lifeboat towed the casualty vessel towards the Welsh mainland, and was met en route by Conwy lifeboat. During the tow, the powerboat’s propeller was freed, so she was able to motor under her own power to Conwy Marina, accompanied by that town’s lifeboat, while the Beaumaris crew made their way home.
