VIDEO: Dramatic rescue of boat pinned to the Sandbanks ferry

Father's Day 2020 was dramatically interrupted for the volunteers of RNLI* Poole Lifeboat Station in Dorset (UK) when they were called to rescue a boat that was pinned against the Sandbanks chain ferry by a combination of a strong tide and gusting winds.

Thankfully the boat's two occupants had been safely recovered to the ferry and the lifeboat crew were able to tow the stricken vessel free using their powerful Atlantic 85 lifeboat.

*The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea.
