Three men rescued by RNLI after inflatable dinghies swept out to sea near Cushendall

Three people were rescued by the RNLI yesterday afternoon after their inflatable dinghies were swept out to sea off the Co Antrim coast.

Red Bay RNLI were requested to launch both their all-weather and inshore lifeboats at 2.22pm on Wednesday, August 3, by Belfast Coastguard. It came after the group raised the alarm that their three inflatable dinghies had become swamped with water at sea near Cushendall.

Weather conditions were good at the time with calm seas, but there was a Force 4 offshore wind blowing.
