Ian Klopper, NSRI Kommetjie station commander, said:
At 01h45, Wednesday, 07th December, NSRI Kommetjie and NSRI Simonstown duty crews were activated by the Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) following reports of a small boat without power and unable to get their motor started with 2 males onboard off-shore of Olifantsbospunt, Cape Point.
The Sea Rescue craft Spirit of the Vines was launched at NSRI Kommetjie and we rendezvoused with the craft 2 nautical miles West of Scarbourough.
A tow-line was rigged and we towed them towards Kommetjie where the NSRI Hout Bay sea rescue craft Albie Matthews rendezvoused with us and took over the tow and the craft with the two local men onboard was towed to Hout Bay harbour without incident and once their boat was recovered no further assistance was required.
