An RNLI lifeboat attended a rescue during its stint at the Jersey boat show on Saturday.
The St Helier crew were called to a 46ft (14m) sailing boat stuck on fishing gear south of the Minquiers.
Jersey Coastguard requested the launch of the Tamar-class all-weather lifeboat, which was being viewed by visitors at the boat show.
The team attended the stricken vessel, and cut away the lines restricting its rudder and propeller.
Its all-weather lifeboat also attended the scene, interrupting the annual event held at the St Helier Marina.
Both lifeboats returned to St Helier, ready for the next service.
