Falmouth Coastguard tasked the Dart D class lifeboat to respond to a Mayday signal coming from the area of the Darthaven Marina. The signal had been accidently sent out by a fitted faulty VHF radio on a vessel at the Marina. A Dartmouth Harbour Authority boatman traced the vessel through the Darthaven list of those at the marina and spoke to the owner. The lifeboat was then stood down and returned to station.
