The lifeboat towed the 130ft-tall Pacific Swift top the safety of Newlyn harbour yesterday morning.

Coastguard received an emergency call at 12.30am yesterday after the
Dutch-registered boat reported having its sails ripped and that its
engine had failed.
The tall ship was making its way from the Azores back to Holland when it ran into bad weather in the Bay of Biscay.
