Team tasked alongside RNLI Fishguard Lifeboat to a yacht with a person on board on the rocks at lower town.
The vessel had broken it mooring and had been washed on to the rocks just off the outer slipway.
Coastguards prepared for a water rescue while the inshore lifeboat made its way across the the bay, due to a combination of weather & tides the ILB was not able to get close & with the casualty vessel being on rocks a tow off was not an option.
With the yacht taking a hammering and moving violently the male on board requested help to abandon his vessel,2 coastguard entered the water and were able to assist the skipper off the yacht and out of the water with no injuries. With a check for possible pollution risks and ensuring the casualty was now warm & safe lifeboat and coastguards were stood down.
Many thanks to the harbour master, members of the public & the cafe for their assistance.

New registration requirements for Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs) will come into force on 15 April 2026.

From this date, all current and new PLBs carried on board UK-flagged vessels, hovercraft and mechanically propelled watercraft must be registered. This requirement also applies when a PLB is discarded or changes ownership, and updated details must be provided.

These requirements bring PLBs in line with the registration rules that have applied to Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRBs) for the past 26 years.

UK Distress & Security Beacon Registry Manager Linda Goulding said: “The benefit of registering your PLB is simple: it gives yourself – and everyone you’re with – a headstart to being rescued from an emergency.

“The registration process is free, takes just 15 minutes, and could make the difference between life and death. You can do it at no cost online in time for the deadline of 15 April.

“HM Coastguard will react to every beacon alert we receive. Registering your PLB helps us quickly work out when it’s a false alarm with no one in danger; or to focus our resources when people in real distress and need our help. Help us to help you.”
