Angle's new Tamar lifeboat was launched for the first time to a vessel in trouble yesterday (Sunday afternoon).

The Calon Wen, with three people on board, had broken down in the Haven with engine problems. Angle's new all weather lifeboat was launched to help the vessel but subsequently stood down as the pilot boat the Picton reached her.

The Calon Wen was then able to resolve her mechanical problems and continued her passage to Neyland.
