The RNLI Girvan Lifeboat raced out to tend to a stricken boat this morning.
The unit was summoned to a fishing vessel which had suffered a mechanical failure and lost power just off the Girvan coast.
It was the team's first call-out of 2022 and a spokesperson said: "This morning at 10.09am, Girvan Lifeboat was requested to launch. Our volunteer crew responded immediately on activation of their pagers and quickly descended on the lifeboat station.
