The St Peter Port Lifeboat was called out on the evening of Saturday 27th August 2016 to go to the aid of a 26 foot Jersey registered motor cruiser, which had suffered engine failure.  The Emily B with 5 people on board, was approximately 3.5 miles South East of Sark, when they put out a call for assistance.

As there were no other vessels in the area, the Spirit of Guernsey was tasked to assist with a tow to Guernsey.

The lifeboat left St Peter Port at 18:05 and was safely back in with the casualty at 19:30
