A MULTIHULL boat was helped by lifeboat crews and a yacht after it became dismasted.
The 28ft trimaran Grasshopper, with one person on board, was helped by the Harwich RNLI inshore lifeboat and yacht Offshore Scout after getting into difficulty in Harwich Harbour.
The lifeboat towed it to Harwich Lifeboat Station after the call at 1.42pm on Saturday and helped to secure the mast and rigging before escorting it to Shotley Marina.
