RNLI volunteers in Norfolk have taken part in a 17 hour long rescue mission to save five people stuck on a broken yacht.

It happened last Saturday when the boat became stuck 40 miles off the Cromer coast after its rudder snapped off leaving the boat unable to steer.

Crews from Cromer, Great Yarmouth and Gorleston helped tow the yacht back to the shore.

Luckily, no one was injured.
