RNLI Dart D class lifeboat was tasked by the Coastguard to help a 21ft Fairline motor cruiser with engine failure. The boat with 2 adults onboard had set off from Totnes and the engine stopped upstream of Blackness Marine. The lifeboat crew established that the cause of the engine not turning was a rope around the propeller and this was cut free. The motor cruiser was towed to Blackness marine.
