From Orelle to Col De L’Iseran: The Queen Stage of The Race
This staggering section of the Trois Etapes is perilous and beautiful in equal measure.
Whilst providing cover for Mudeford RNLI’s annual funday, Mudeford Servant was tasked to assist an inflatable dinghy, with one male on board, which had suffered engine failure. The man was trying to get to Wick when his engine stopped working as he approached the run at Mudeford. The volunteer crew towed him into Mudeford and then resumed their cover of the funday.

At 09.38hr on Saturday 27 July 2013, Humber Coastguard requested the launch of Seahouses Lifeboats, to go to the assistance of a disabled 45ft Yacht “Tonic”, which had a rope around its propeller and rudder, 3 miles south of the Farne Islands. It had 6 persons aboard. Both Lifeboats were quickly on scene to give assistance, and a Lifeboat Crewman was put aboard the yacht.
Shout number 1 – Wednesday 24th July
Amble all-weather lifeboat The Four Boys was launched at 15.30 hrs on Wednesday when a call came in that a 26ft boat had suffered mechanical failure.
The vessel was located just outside the south pier of Amble harbour and was drifting towards cliffs. The vessel managed to get an anchor rigged to slow down the drift. Amble inshore lifeboat Mildred Holcroft was the first to arrive on scene and quickly placed a volunteer crewmember on board to assess the situation. Once it was clear that the three persons on board were all well, a tow line was rigged to The Four Boys and the larger lifeboat towed the casualty back to Amble Marina for investigation.
