A moored yacht was saved from sinking after it began taking on water at Menai Bridge.

Two men were onboard the vessel when the RNLI’s inshore lifeboat from Beaumaris was called out to help at around 9.40am on Easter Monday.

Two salvage pumps - including one already onboard the yacht - were used to bring the situation under control.

The pair on board were able to access another craft if needed and the yacht’s pump was able to deal with the intake of water pending the owner’s arrival to arrange recovery.

An RNLI Beaumaris spokesperson said: “The informant did the correct thing in alerting the Coastguard to the predicament.”

”This meant our volunteer lifeboat crew were able to reach the casualty quickly, assess the situation and take the best course of action to prevent the situation worsening.”
