Ulladulla 30 responded following the flare sighting off Ulladulla headland and found a boat with mechanical failure. 

“Ulladulla 30 responded to the scene and towed the stricken vessel, which had mechanical failure, back to Ulladulla harbour,” the volunteer organisation posted on social media.

“Thank you to the community for reporting the location of the flare sightings. Thanks also to those vessel skippers who did not sight the flares but sighted a vessel in distress. Multiple sightings were reported to us and we confirmed all sightings related to a single vessel.”
