Llandudno's all-weather lifeboat crew quickly rescued a fishing vessel in trouble near the Great Orme on Saturday as strong winds shifted unexpectedly.

After the engine failed, the lifeboat towed the vessel to safety in Port Penrhyn, guided by Beaumaris Lifeboat.

Both vessel and crew were brought to safety thanks to the quick response and good decisions made during the tough journey.

Duty Launch Authority Alun Pari Huws said, "I had no hesitation in authorising the launch of the all weather lifeboat given the circumstances.

"The casualty vessel had suffered engine failure in a particularly hazardous location with strong onshore winds and heavy swell. The skipper, an experienced seaman and commercial fisherman, made the correct decision to call for help as soon as the problem arose.

"The Coxswain, crew, lifeboat and shore team all performed exceptionally well in demanding conditions, and everyone was pleased that both the vessel and those aboard were brought to safety."
