The Moelfre RNLI lifeboat launched on Sunday under the command of Second Coxswain Michael Williams to reports of a 24ft fishing boat with a gearbox failure.

Moelfre RNLI lifeboat press officer Dave Massey said: “The Moelfre RNLI lifeboat volunteer crew are highly trained in all aspects of modern day RNLI lifeboat operations. Their navigational skills enabled them to locate the casualty and commence the tow within 23 minutes of the launch. The man on board the vessel was experienced and had suitable safety equipment on board.”
