12 January: Lifeboats from Dun Laoghaire were called out shortly after midday to a yacht with a suspected fire onboard, probably due to an overheating engine. The lifeboat took the six crew members off the 11m yacht while two RNLI crew members boarded the casualty vessel to inspect for damage. She was taken in tow to Dun Laoghaire Marina where she was checked by units of the Dublin Fire Brigade.
