ISLAY RNLI volunteer lifeboat crew rescued six people, including two children, after a yacht ran onto a charted rock on an ebb tide at the south end of the Sound of Islay.
Her captain chose to stay on board the heavily listing, 16m sailing boat Anjela.
The all-weather lifeboat Helmut Schroder of Dunlossit was launched 18 minutes past midnight on Tuesday July 25 in a medium wind, fair visibility and a relatively calm sea, and reached the yacht 20 minutes later to find that she was listing heavily to port.
