The St Peter Port All Weather Lifeboat (ALB) was launched at 03:37 on Monday 5th August 2019 to go to the assistance of the sailing vessel Rose of Savannah with 5 persons on board, which had broadcast a Pan Pan alert asking for assistance as they had lost all power and electronics and were unsure of their position.

The ALB located the vessel 10 miles north of Guernsey at 04:42.  The skipper informed the lifeboat that they no longer required assistance and were proceeding to Cherbourg.

The ALB was stood down and returned to St Peter Port and was back on station at 05:27
