#RNLI - Both Wicklow RNLI lifeboats launched on Monday afternoon (Monday 18 July) after the Irish Coast Guard received a report of a capsized boat drifting off Greystones.
The inshore lifeboat was first on scene and located the upturned Laser yacht, drifting south of Greystones Harbour.
The crew began an immediate search of the area in case there might be casualties in the water.
Weather conditions in the area were described as wind direction south Force 4 with a moderate sea state, and visibility was good.
During the search by both lifeboats, a call was received from the coastguard to say two people had been taken from the capsized boat by a sailing club tender and were landed safely at Greystones.
The tender then made its way back out to recover the overturned yacht. The inshore lifeboat crew assisted with righting the capsized boat and escorted the tender and the Laser yacht into Greystones before returning to Wicklow.
