Leverburgh lifeboat assisted a visiting yacht which got into trouble off North Uist in the early hours of today.

 

The vessel could not navigate as her steering gear failed.

 

Windy conditions also posed a problem.

 

The lifeboat launched to the yacht's aid around 2.45am and escorted her into shelter at Lochmaddy.
