Lifeboat rescue volunteers were called to help the owner of a 27 foot yacht whose engine had failed.
The St Bees RNLI team were alerted to the incident shortly before 6pm on Tuesday (May 28).
The yacht was unable to make its way to Whitehaven Harbour unaided.
Rescue volunteers towed the yacht back into the harbour.
