LIFESAVERS were sent out to sea to help a yacht which had lost its rudder in the early hours of the morning.
Walton and Frinton all-weather lifeboat was launched to help a 28ft yacht called Auberge, which had two people on board.
The boat had lost its rudder and was forced to drop anchor several miles off the Walton coast at about 2.25am on Monday.
The lifeboat towed the broken-down craft to Brightlingsea.
