On Sunday 14 February, NSRI Hermanus responded aboard Hunters Gold Rescuer to assist a rubber-duck at Skilphoek, near Hermanus, with engine failure, with 2 men and a female on-board, all from Cape Town’s Northern Suburbs.
NSRI Hermanus deputy station commander, Ian Alton, said that on arrival on-scene the crew aboard the casualty boat were found to be safe but drifting without motor power.
A tow-line was rigged and the NSRI duty crew towed the rubber-duck to Hermanus harbour and once safely in the harbour no further assistance was required.
