Criccieth RNLI’s Atlantic 85 lifeboat Frank Townley launched into rough seas at 11:30 this morning following reports of a 15-metre yacht with engine failure in the Porthmadog Channel.

The yacht, with two people on board, was at anchor when the lifeboat arrived. Both were safe and well.

One member of the Criccieth RNLI crew was transferred aboard the stricken yacht to assist its occupants. The lifeboat then established a stern tow and began towing the yacht towards Porthmadog, where conditions were considerably calmer.

For the final part of the passage, the yacht was transferred to an alongside tow, allowing it to be safely manoeuvred back onto its mooring.

With the yacht and its occupants safely secured, the lifeboat made its way back to Criccieth, once again encountering very rough sea conditions on the return passage.

The lifeboat returned to station and was made ready for service.

If you see someone in difficulty at sea or along the coast, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard. Footage below👇👇👇

Lansiwyd bad achub Atlantic 85 RNLI Cricieth, Frank Townley, i foroedd garw am 11:30 y bore yma yn dilyn adroddiadau am gwch hwylio 15 metr oedd wedi dioddef methiant injan yn Sianel Porthmadog.

Roedd y cwch hwylio, gyda dau berson ar ei fwrdd, ar angor pan gyrhaeddodd y bad achub. Roedd y ddau yn ddiogel ac yn iach.

Trosglwyddwyd un aelod o griw RNLI Cricieth i fwrdd y cwch hwylio i gynorthwyo’r ddau oedd arno. Yna sefydlodd y bad achub dynfa o’r cefn a dechrau tynnu’r cwch tuag at Borthmadog, lle’r oedd amodau’r môr yn llawer tawelach.

Ar gyfer rhan olaf y daith, trosglwyddwyd y cwch i dynfa ochr yn ochr, gan alluogi’r criw i’w symud yn ddiogel yn ôl i’w angorfa.

Wedi sicrhau bod y cwch a’r ddau oedd ar ei fwrdd yn ddiogel, cychwynnodd y bad achub yn ôl am Gricieth, gan wynebu amodau môr garw iawn unwaith eto ar y daith yn ôl.

Dychwelodd y bad achub i’r orsaf a chafodd ei baratoi unwaith eto ar gyfer gwasanaeth. Ffilm isod👇👇👇

Os gwelwch rywun mewn trafferth ar y môr neu ar yr arfordir, ffoniwch 999 a gofynnwch am Wylwyr y Glannau.

𝗖𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗵 𝗥𝗡𝗟𝗜 – 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀!
We may only be in early autumn, but summer already feels a long while ago judging by the conditions out on the water!

Whatever the weather, training continues at Criccieth RNLI, and we’ve had plenty to celebrate recently, with crew members successfully completing Navigator units, new Head Launchers qualifying, a Helm completing their revalidation, and a new volunteer crew member signing up to begin their training.

From navigation and boat handling to launching, recovery and the all-important net recovery shown here, regular training ensures our volunteer crew are ready to respond whenever the pagers sound.

A huge congratulations to everyone on their achievements – and a very warm welcome to our newest crew member.

The conditions may be changing, but the training never stops!

𝗥𝗡𝗟𝗜 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗵 – 𝗟𝗹𝘄𝘆𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗮𝘂 𝗵𝘆𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗱𝗶!
Efallai mai dechrau’r hydref yw hi, ond mae’r haf eisoes yn teimlo fel petai’n amser maith yn ôl o edrych ar yr amodau ar y dŵr!

Beth bynnag fo’r tywydd, mae’r hyfforddiant yn parhau yn RNLI Cricieth, ac mae digon wedi bod i’w ddathlu’n ddiweddar. Mae aelodau’r criw wedi cwblhau unedau Nafigeiddio yn llwyddiannus, Pen Lanswyr newydd wedi cymhwyso, Llywiwr Bad wedi cwblhau ei ail-ddilysiad, ac un aelod newydd o’r criw gwirfoddol wedi ymuno i ddechrau ei hyfforddiant.

O fordwyo a thrin y bad i lansio, adfer a’r ymarfer hollbwysig o adfer gyda’r rhwyd a welir yma, mae hyfforddiant rheolaidd yn sicrhau bod ein criw gwirfoddol yn barod i ymateb pryd bynnag y bydd yr alarwm yn seinio.

Llongyfarchiadau mawr i bawb ar eu llwyddiannau – a chroeso cynnes iawn i’n haelod criw mwyaf newydd.

Efallai fod yr amodau’n newid, ond dydy’r hyfforddiant byth yn stopio!

The RNLI exists to save lives at sea.

Our volunteer crews respond to those who need help at sea, without judgement or prejudice and in keeping with the values of the RNLI.

We’re sharing this message from the RNLI’s Chief Executive, Peter Sparkes, which highlights the importance of respecting the volunteers-and staff- who give their time to support the charity’s lifesaving work.

Mae’r RNLI yn bodoli i achub bywydau ar y môr.

Mae ein criwiau gwirfoddol yn ymateb i bobl sydd angen cymorth ar y môr, heb farnu na rhagfarnu ac yn unol â gwerthoedd yr RNLI.

Rydym yn rhannu’r neges hon gan Brif Weithredwr yr RNLI, Peter Sparkes, sy’n pwysleisio pwysigrwydd parchu’r gwirfoddolwyr -a staff-sy’n rhoi o’u hamser i gefnogi gwaith achub bywydau’r elusen.

The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. Its volunteers provide a 24-hour search and rescue service around the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland coasts. The RNLI operates 238 lifeboat stations in the UK and Ireland and more than 240 lifeguard units on beaches around the UK and Channel I...

Criccieth RNLI’s Atlantic 85 lifeboat Frank Townley was launched at 3.50pm today (6 September) following reports of two people in difficulty at sea near Criccieth Castle.

One person was using a paddleboard and the other an inflatable kayak. Both were experiencing difficulty getting back aboard their craft and making their way safely back to shore.

The volunteer crew quickly arrived on scene and ensured both people were safe before escorting them back ashore to an awaiting team from Gwylwyr y Glannau Criccieth / Criccieth Coastguard Rescue Team.

The incident serves as another important reminder of the need to wear an appropriate, properly fitted lifejacket or buoyancy aid when heading out on the water, including when using paddleboards and kayaks.

Conditions can change quickly, and even a short distance from shore can become difficult to cover if you become separated from your craft or are unable to get back aboard.

If you see someone in difficulty at the coast, call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard.

Lansiwyd bad achub Atlantic 85 RNLI Cricieth, Frank Townley, am 3.50yp heddiw (6 Medi) yn dilyn adroddiadau am ddau berson mewn trafferthion ar y môr ger Castell Cricieth.

Roedd un person yn defnyddio bwrdd p***o a’r llall mewn caiac chwythadwy. Roedd y ddau yn cael trafferth mynd yn ôl ar eu cychod ac i ddychwelyd yn ddiogel i’r lan.

Cyrhaeddodd y criw gwirfoddol y lleoliad yn gyflym, gan sicrhau bod y ddau berson yn ddiogel cyn eu hebrwng yn ôl i’r lan at Dîm o Wylwyr y Glanau Cricieth.

Mae’r digwyddiad yn ein hatgoffa unwaith eto o bwysigrwydd gwisgo siaced achub neu gymorth hynofedd addas sy’n ffitio’n iawn wrth fynd allan ar y dŵr, gan gynnwys wrth ddefnyddio byrddau p***o a chaiacau.

Gall amodau newid yn gyflym, a gall hyd yn oed pellter byr o’r lan fod yn anodd ei groesi os ydych yn cael eich gwahanu oddi wrth eich cwch neu’n methu â mynd yn ôl arno.

Os gwelwch rywun mewn trafferthion ar yr arfordir, ffoniwch 999 neu 112 a gofynnwch am Wylwyr y Glannau.

Criccieth RNLI took part in a valuable joint training exercise yesterday evening (3 September) with the HM Coastguard search and rescue helicopter based at Caernarfon.

The exercise included a series of winching drills with our volunteer lifeboat crew, giving them the opportunity to practise the procedures and communication needed when lifeboat and helicopter crews work together during an emergency.

The session was particularly valuable in giving our crew greater familiarity with the new search and rescue helicopter operating from Caernarfon, while also providing important training for the helicopter crew working with our lifeboat and operating in our local area.

Joint exercises like these help ensure that when we’re called upon to work together for real, crews are familiar with each other’s equipment, procedures and ways of working.

A brilliant training session and another great example of our emergency services working together to save lives.

Bu criw gwirfoddol RNLI Cricieth yn cymryd rhan mewn ymarfer hyfforddi ar y cyd gwerthfawr nos ddoe (3 Medi) gyda hofrennydd chwilio ac achub Gwylwyr y Glannau EM sydd wedi’i leoli yng Nghaernarfon.

Roedd yr ymarfer yn cynnwys cyfres o ymarferion winshio gyda chriw’r bad achub, gan roi cyfle i ni ymarfer y gweithdrefnau a’r cyfathrebu sydd eu hangen pan fydd criwiau bad achub a hofrennydd yn gweithio gyda’i gilydd mewn argyfwng.

Roedd y sesiwn yn arbennig o werthfawr wrth roi cyfle i’n criw ymgyfarwyddo â’r hofrennydd chwilio ac achub newydd sy’n gweithredu o Gaernarfon, yn ogystal â rhoi hyfforddiant pwysig i griw’r hofrennydd wrth weithio gyda’n bad achub ac yn ein hardal leol.

Mae ymarferion ar y cyd fel hyn yn helpu i sicrhau, pan fydd galw arnom i gydweithio mewn argyfwng go iawn, fod y criwiau’n gyfarwydd ag offer, gweithdrefnau a ffyrdd o weithio ei gilydd.

Sesiwn hyfforddi wych ac enghraifft arall o’n gwasanaethau brys yn cydweithio i achub bywydau.

Criccieth RNLI’s Atlantic 85 lifeboat Frank Townley launched at 10am today (31 August) following reports of an upturned sailing dinghy off Borth-y-Gest, with two people in the water.

The lifeboat was quickly dispatched and made its way to the scene. While en route, the volunteer crew were informed that another vessel had gone to the aid of the two people and that the dinghy had been righted.

The lifeboat continued to the location and escorted the sailing dinghy safely back ashore, ensuring that both occupants were safe and well before returning to station.

Cafodd y bad achub ei lansio’n brydlon a gwneud ei ffordd i’r lleoliad. Tra ar y ffordd, cafodd y criw gwirfoddol wybod bod cwch arall wedi mynd i gynorthwyo’r ddau berson a bod y dingi wedi cael ei unioni.

Parhaodd y bad achub i’r lleoliad ac yna hebrwng y dingi hwylio yn ddiogel yn ôl i’r lan, gan sicrhau bod y ddau oedd ar ei fwrdd yn ddiogel ac yn iach cyn dychwelyd i’r orsaf.

What a day! Despite the weather doing its very best to test us, the rain certainly didn’t dampen spirits at today’s Criccieth RNLI Open Day!

It had already been a busy start to the day for our volunteer crew, with two shouts before the Open Day had even got underway – our Atlantic 85 Frank Townley launching at 5.50am to assist a 14-metre yacht which had broken down, followed by our inshore rescue boat launching at 9.05am following reports of an uncrewed dinghy near Porthmadog Cob. A real reminder that, even on Open Day, our lifesaving service continues as normal.

A massive thank you to all our volunteers – our lifeboat crew, shore crew, shop and fundraising volunteers, and everyone who worked so hard behind the scenes preparing for today. Thank you also to everyone who baked and prepared food, donated cakes, raffle and tombola prizes, or contributed in any other way. Days like today simply couldn’t happen without the incredible support & generosity of so many people and support from companies such as Harlech Foodservice, Idris Bakery (weekly cakes donation too 😋), Dylan's, Y Maes and many others.

We’re also hugely grateful to our partner emergency services and organisations who gave their time to join us and showcase the amazing work they do. It was fantastic to have you alongside us and to give our visitors the opportunity to meet the people behind the services we work so closely with.

And, of course, thank you to everyone who came along and supported us despite the rain!

Together, you helped us raise over £2,500 towards the RNLI’s mission of saving lives at sea – an incredible result from a fantastic day.

The rain may have fallen, but it certainly didn’t dampen our spirits!

Diolch yn fawr iawn – thank you!

Am ddiwrnod! Er gwaetha’r tywydd yn gwneud ei orau glas i’n profi, wnaeth y glaw ddim llwyddo i ddifetha’r hwyl yn Niwrnod Agored RNLI Cricieth heddiw!

Roedd hi eisoes wedi bod yn ddechrau prysur i’r diwrnod i’n criw gwirfoddol, gyda dau alwad cyn i’r Diwrnod Agored hyd yn oed ddechrau – lansiodd ein bad achub Atlantic 85 Frank Townley am 5.50yb i gynorthwyo cwch hwylio 14-metr oedd wedi torri i lawr, cyn i’n bad-achub ger-y-lan lansio am 9.05yb yn dilyn adroddiadau am ddingi heb griw ger Y Cob, Porthmadog. Roedd yn ein hatgoffa, hyd yn oed ar ddiwrnod ein Diwrnod Agored, fod ein gwasanaeth achub bywyd yn parhau fel arfer.

Diolch enfawr i’n holl wirfoddolwyr – criwiau’r badau achub, y criw lan, gwirfoddolwyr y siop a chodi a***n, a phawb a weithiodd mor galed y tu ôl i’r llenni i baratoi ar gyfer heddiw. Diolch hefyd i bawb wnaeth bobi a pharatoi bwyd, rhoi cacennau, gwobrau ar gyfer y raffl a’r tombola, neu gyfrannu mewn unrhyw ffordd arall. Fyddai diwrnodau fel heddiw ddim yn bosib heb gefnogaeth a haelioni anhygoel cymaint o bobl.

Rydym hefyd yn hynod ddiolchgar i’n partneriaid yn y gwasanaethau brys a’r sefydliadau eraill a roddodd o’u hamser i ymuno â ni ac arddangos y gwaith anhygoel maen nhw hefyd yn ei wneud. Roedd hi’n wych eich cael chi gyda ni a rhoi cyfle i’n hymwelwyr gwrdd â’r bobl y tu ôl i’r gwasanaethau rydym yn gweithio mor agos â nhw.

Ac, wrth gwrs, diolch i bawb ddaeth draw i’n cefnogi er gwaetha’r glaw!

Gyda’n gilydd, fe wnaethoch chi ein helpu i godi dros £2,500 tuag at genhadaeth yr RNLI o achub bywydau ar y môr – canlyniad anhygoel i ddiwrnod gwych.

Fe ddaeth y glaw, ond wnaeth o ddim difetha ein hwyl na’n hysbryd!

Diolch yn fawr iawn!

It’s already been an exceptionally busy morning for Criccieth RNLI – with our volunteer crew responding to two shouts before today’s Open Day has even begun!

The pagers first sounded at 5.50am today (29 August), with the station’s Atlantic 85 lifeboat, Frank Townley, launching to assist a 14-metre yacht which had broken down off Llanbedrog with four people onboard. The yacht was on passage from Pwllheli to Glasgow when it experienced difficulties.

The yacht had a competent crew and all four occupants were safe and well, although one person was suffering from seasickness. The lifeboat took the yacht under tow into Pwllheli Harbour, where it was safely placed on a mooring.

Our volunteer crew were back at the station by 8am and turned their attention to preparing for today’s Open Day – but it wasn’t long before the pagers sounded again!

At 9.05am, the station’s inshore rescue boat was launched following reports of an uncrewed dinghy near Porthmadog Cob.

And, amongst all of that, we’re still getting ready to welcome you to Criccieth RNLI’s Open Day! 🛟

The weather might not be entirely on our side this morning, with some rain in the forecast, but the Open Day is going ahead as planned. We’ll be making the very best of the day, whatever the weather throws at us, and we’re really looking forward to welcoming our community of supporters to the lifeboat station.

There’s plenty planned, so bring a coat or an umbrella and come along and join us! ☔️

The fun starts at 11am – we’re looking forward to seeing you!

Mae hi eisoes wedi bod yn fore eithriadol o brysur i RNLI Cricieth – gyda’n criw gwirfoddol wedi ymateb i ddau alwad cyn i’n Diwrnod Agored heddiw hyd yn oed ddechrau!

Canodd y peiriannau galw am y tro cyntaf am 5.50yb heddiw (29 Awst), gyda bad achub Atlantic 85 yr orsaf, Frank Townley, yn lansio i gynorthwyo cwch hwylio 14 metr oedd wedi torri i lawr oddi ar Lanbedrog gyda phedwar o bobl ar ei fwrdd. Roedd y cwch ar daith o Bwllheli i Glasgow pan gafodd drafferthion.

Roedd gan y cwch griw medrus a phrofiadol, ac roedd y pedwar person yn ddiogel ac yn iach, er bod un yn dioddef o salwch môr. Tynnodd y bad achub y cwch i Harbwr Pwllheli, lle cafodd ei osod yn ddiogel ar angorfa.

Roedd ein criw gwirfoddol yn ôl yn yr orsaf erbyn 8yb ac yn troi eu sylw at baratoi ar gyfer ein Diwrnod Agored – ond cyn hir, canodd y larymau galw unwaith eto!

Am 9.05yb, lansiwyd bad-achub ger-y-lan yr orsaf yn dilyn adroddiadau am ddingi heb griw ger Cob Porthmadog.

Ac, yng nghanol yr holl brysurdeb, rydym yn dal wrthi’n paratoi i’ch croesawu i Ddiwrnod Agored RNLI Cricieth! 🛟

Efallai nad yw’r tywydd ar ein hochr ni y bore yma, gyda rhywfaint o law yn y rhagolygon, ond mae’r Diwrnod Agored yn mynd yn ei flaen fel y cynlluniwyd. Byddwn yn gwneud y gorau o’r diwrnod, beth bynnag ddaw’r tywydd, ac rydym yn edrych ymlaen yn fawr at groesawu ein cymuned o gefnogwyr i’r orsaf bad achub.

Mae digon wedi’i gynllunio, felly dewch â’ch côt neu’ch ymbarél a dewch draw i ymuno â ni! ☔️

Mae’r hwyl yn dechrau am 11yb – edrychwn ymlaen at eich gweld chi!

Ahead of our Open Day on Saturday, 29 August, please be aware that Lôn Felin, immediately outside Criccieth RNLI Lifeboat Station and highlighted in red on the map, will be temporarily closed to traffic between 9am and 5.30pm. Our application for the temporary road closure has been approved by Cyngor Gwynedd.

The closure will help ensure that the event can take place safely, while also providing enough space for our partner emergency and rescue agencies to join us and display their vehicles and equipment. Access will be maintained for residents throughout the closure. The closure also means there is no access to the slipway.

Thank you in advance to local residents and visitors for your understanding. We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone to the station from 11am for what promises to be a great day!

Bydd cau’r ffordd yn helpu i sicrhau bod y digwyddiad yn cael ei gynnal yn ddiogel, gan hefyd ddarparu digon o le i’n hasiantaethau brys ac achub partner ymuno â ni ac arddangos eu cerbydau a’u hoffer. Bydd mynediad yn cael ei gynnal i drigolion drwy gydol y cyfnod cau. Mae hyn yn golygu nad oes mynediad i’r slip chwaity.

Diolch ymlaen llaw i drigolion lleol ac ymwelwyr am eich dealltwriaeth. Rydym yn edrych ymlaen at groesawu pawb i’r orsaf o 11yb am ddiwrnod gwych!
