Yacht on the Reef

A French yacht has made a mayday call after suffering mechanical failure near Jersey. The St Helier crew must rescue it before it drifts onto a notoriously treacherous reef.

In Porthcawl, when multiple 999 calls come in about a man who has been swept into the sea, the crew launch into the most dangerous conditions they’ve ever faced.

Just along the south Wales coast, the Barry Dock lifeboat is tasked to two casualties on a remote island who have ingested hemlock: a poisonous plant that can be fatal.

Across the Irish Sea, the crew are paged at 5.00 after reports come in of a swimmer in difficulty. And in Moelfre, north Wales, training night is interrupted by a dog owner whose beloved pet has jumped off a cliff.
