LIFESAVERS went to the rescue of a 30-foot-yacht that was stranded in Conwy waters.
The yacht, which had suffered a loss of power, was located about one nautical mile off Penmaenmawr, close to the Fairways Buoy.
Llandudno all weather lifeboat William F Yates launched at 4.45pm on June 1 to join the Conwy inshore lifeboat May-Bob in a joint operation to assist the vessel.

A spokesperson for Llandudno RNLI said: "The Conwy lifeboat which had launched at 4.08pm was already on scene to provide assistance, however the crew were unable to continue an effective tow due to the strong North Easterly winds at the time.
"Llandudno lifeboat arrived shortly before 5.15pm to secure the casualty vessel and commence passage to the safety of Conwy Harbour.
"On arrival at Conwy Harbour the Conwy volunteer crew were able to take over the tow and secure the casualty vessel to a safe mooring."
