Sir William Hillary called into action on Monday
It's already proving a busy week for the Douglas RNLI, after its third lifeboat callout in two days.
Crews were dispatched shortly after 9.30am yesterday (Mon), after a three-man yacht got into difficulty 10 miles off the east coast.
The vessel's mainsail had been torn in the wind, which led to an overheated engine in the worsening conditions.
Volunteers from the all-weather lifeboat Sir William Hillary managed to tow the beleagured boat back to harbour without incident in under an hour - though all of those onboard were suffering from a 'nasty' bout of sea sickness.
