A yacht was rescued after it suffered engine trouble in the Bristol Channel.
The RNLI at Penarth sent out its inshore lifeboat at just after 5.20pm on Friday evening when the yacht was struggling toward the middle grounds of the Bristol Channel.
The volunteer crew found the stricken vessel was under sail but being pushed toward the sandbank.
Two crew members were put on board to help lower the sails, before a tow was established to take the yacht to the taxi berth at the Cardiff Bay Barrage.
