Just before 2pm yesterday crews were assembled to assist a 14 foot vessel to safety.
A spokesman for Workington RNLI said: "We were called out by CGOC Belfast Coastguard after reports that a 14ft vessel was in distress off the coast of Flimby.
"The volunteer crew assembled at about 1.55pm and launched all weather lifeboat Dorothy May White.
