A lifeboat from Southwold was called to a yacht which got into trouble off the coast of Suffolk.
Yarmouth Coastguard received a call about the 25 foot yacht at 12.10pm today.
The yacht had only one person on board when the engine burnt out and began ejecting smoke.
It was towed back to port where a fire crew were able to make it safe.
