A Scots lifeboat came to the aid of a stricken yacht during the Shetland Races, making it the 900th launch for Lerwick lifeboats in almost a century
.
The lifeboat crew was dispatched at roughly 7.55am, just five minutes before 35 yachts were due to set off for the annual race's return leg across the North Sea to Bergen. Passing to the north of the participating vessels, which were due to head out the south entrance of Lerwick harbour, the lifeboat reached the yacht in just five minutes.
The call-out is believed to be the 900th for Lerwick Lifeboat since it was first established in Lerwick Harbour in July 1930.
