The Lerwick lifeboat was called out this morning to help a leisure yacht with a flat battery.

Two crew aboard the Lucky Maru were unable to start the yacht’s engine, about 10 miles east of Lerwick, and needed help to be brought into Lerwick harbour.

The lifeboat towed the vessel into Lerwick arriving at about 4.45pm.
