Bridlington's Inshore lifeboat Windsor Spirit was launched just after 8pm after members of the public had heard cries for help.

Grant Walkington, inshore lifeboat helmsman, said: "They had no radio, phone or oars but, luckily, they were able to make people ashore hear them."
The dinghy was towed safely to the beach.
