A Suffolk lifeboat was called to rescue a yacht struggling in large waves.
The crew from RNLI Aldeburgh launched the Ralph lifeboat at 8.26pm on Sunday evening, and reached the 27 foot yacht when it was two miles off the coast at Orford.
The yacht's engine had overheated and lost power and had one occupant on board.
Following their arrival the lifeboat towed the vessel as it was deemed the safest course of action.
The boats arrived in Orford Harbour at 11.20pm.
The crew returned to RNLI Aldeburgh, with the boat washed, refuelled and ready to be back in service at 1.20am on Monday.
