A request for assistance was received by the Coxswain, from the owner of MFV Challanger sinking within Pittenweem harbour.

Three crewmembers were able to co-ordinate transporting the portable salvage pump the two miles to from the Lifeboat Station
to assist the Harbour Master, owner and skipper of the vessel, to pump out sufficiently water to enable the vessel to beach safely.

With no further assistance required the crew returned to Anstruther Lifeboat Station.
