Low Tide Rescue

 
The very low tide at Lepe left 3 Yachts aground at the entrance to the Beaulieu River and all were successfully towed off by the Venturers Powerful diesel jet boat Steadfast Venturer.

Another yacht with a 4 meter keel requested the Venturers to act as a Pilot to guide him into the River.

Using local knowledge and echo sounder it was successfully guided into the deep water channel with less than 0.25 of a metre clearance under the keel.

Photograph shows the 37ft Yacht with 7 people aboard about to accept a tow line.
