Lifeboat rescued small inflatable RIB, that had lost all engine power. Boat was towed into harbour and although well prepared with radio, flares and suitable clothing the two occupants were given advice by the Lifeboat crew and Coastguards on maintenance of their engine. This event shows that even the best prepared people can get into trouble on the sea, and require the volunteers that man the lifeboats to rescue them.

The crew were waken in the early hours to the sound of their pagers alerting them to to the fact that someone may be in danger. The crew assembled at the boathouse and the boat was in the water and heading off to sea within 10 minutes of the first pager beep, testament to the dedication of the crew. The shout was to search for a person who had informed the police that they were entering the sea. Items belonging to the casualty were identified and the search began in that area. A rescue helicopter from RAF Valley was also tasked to come and assist in the search, as were Borth Lifeboat. During the search Aberystwyth Lifeboat were informed that one of the officers near to Constitution Hill had heard someone calling, both lifeboats were immediately sent to the area, where the casualty was spotted hanging onto some rocks. With its close inshore capabilities, Borth lifeboat went into the rocky area and recovered the casualty and then proceeded to Main beach Aberystwyth where the casualty was transferred to ambulance. Both lifeboats were then stood down and returned to station.
