Callout carried out within two hours
The Douglas all-weather lifeboat, Marine Engineer, was called out this afternoon to assist two people onboard a fishing boat.
Propellers on the 10 metre fishing boat were fouled by another boat's fishing nets four miles south of Douglas.
Volunteer Coxswain Edd Christian and crew launched at 12.37pm, quickly found the vessel and towed it back into Douglas where it safely berthed.
The lifeboat was back in the boathouse and ready again for service by 2.45pm.
