The crew used all their available navigation equipment to locate the vessel.
A lifeboat crew used "every single navigational aid" available to find a fishing boat lost in dense fog and stranded in just 16in of water.
The Redcar RNLI lifeboat was at a charity fundraising day in Staithes, North Yorkshire, when it was called at about 14:20 BST on Saturday. The crew faced "a real navigational challenge" to find the fishing boat in time, lifeboat helm Nathan Hobday said."Visibility at times was down to 10m in front of the lifeboat and this call was one of the few occasions in my 13 years as crew that we had to utilise every single navigational aid on the lifeboat to locate the casualty vessel," Mr Hobday said.
Redcar RNLI operations manager Mick Pickneet said it was the crew's 60th job of the year and it was a "real challenge because of the dense fog". He said: "Regular training in navigation and search and rescue methods proved to be invaluable in helping to find the lost fishing vessel and this really highlights the professionalism and dedication shown by all our volunteer crew."
