Dublin Coast Guard shared the duo’s GPS coordinates with the Skerries crew, who plotted a course directly to the stricken yacht thanks to the lifeboat’s high tech navigation system. With a top speed of 35 knots, the lifeboat powered the volunteers to the scene. link HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED NEXT link graphic A decal, featuring thousands of names, being added to the side of an RNLI lifeboat.
