A trio of haphazard sailors had a lucky escape on Sunday in Howth after the inflatable dinghy they were sailing in was being blown away by wind.
The volunteer RNLI rescue team were called out to the incident yesterday evening after the three people, who were without lifejackets, got into difficulty at Howth Sound. They were attempting to row back to Burrow beach when another sailor noticed they were in difficulty and called the incident in.
Thankfully the volunteer lifeboat crew got to the trio within minutes and they were taken to the safety of Howth harbour. But a stark warning about the dangers of inflatables in the Irish sea was issued by the RNLI following the scary incident.
