THE crew of a disabled cabin cruiser has been rescued.
The cruiser, which had launched from the beach at Redcar with four men aboard, was spotted on Sunday morning by the local Coastwatch lookout. It was apparently disabled, dangerously close to the rocky scar three quarters of a mile out to sea.
The Redcar Atlantic 21 lifeboat was alerted and found the vessel broken down with engine trouble and dangerously low in the water.
Helmsman Andy Stonehouse transferred the four men, from Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, into the lifeboat
