Water rescue
Cumbria Police contacted the Team with a request to assist a male who had struck a rock some 40 metres from shore while sailing on Ullswater. The Team responded with their Rescue RIB Patrick Pete. They found the 14ft cruiser sitting on a reef.
The cruiser was towed off the reef and checked for damage/leaks. The sailor was escorted back to his mooring at Pooley Bridge.
