Sunday April 16, they are asked to intervene to tow a yacht of 130 feet (40 meters). Fearing that their boat is too small, the boss of the SNSM initially refuses. It only has the semi-rigid, the Rescue Star - the Rescue II star is still being repaired in France. Finally, he decides to give it a try on Monday 17 at 7 am. The ship is located in Terres Basses, on the edge of Baie Rouge. The towing is carried out at a maximum speed of two knots towards the Marina Fort Louis. The yacht is anchored opposite Grand Saint-Martin at 8:50 am. A few hours later, a boater calls the rescuers to warn them that he saw a sailboat skidding from Grand Case to the open sea. Here again they have to tow the sailboat. The operation begins at 14:30 p.m. and ends at 16:20 p.m.
