**Call-out **
Killaloe Coast Guard unit were tasked to investigate reports of a sailing boat drifting near Church Bay on Lough Derg.
A boat crew launched from Pier Head Killaloe and made their way towards Church bay, a passing vessel had taken the sailing boat on tow towards Dromineer Harbour and notified Valentia Coast Guard by VHF radio.
Once in Dromineer Harbour the vessel was safely moored and a Coast Guard crew member was transferred on board to look for any signs that someone might have been on board.
There were no signs of anyone been on board and all signs show that it might have broken free from it's mooring.
The crew reported everything back to the MRCC in Valentia and they were happy to stand down the crew and return to base.
After some inquiries the owner of the vessel was contacted and confirmed it had broken free.
Well done to the skipper of the vessel who took the sailing boat on tow before it was damaged on the shoreline.
