CREWS from Minehead's RNLI rescued a broken-down yacht not long after dawn this morning (December 6).
The 10-metre vessel suffered engine failure while on passage down the Bristol Channel with two men aboard.
Minehead's volunteer crew launched the Atlantic 85 class lifeboat in response to their distress call.
The vessel was located north-east of Watchet harbour. The yacht was taken in town and guided to a berth in the marina.
