A MAST on a boat which was being towed by a Boatworks+ vehicle got caught in cables for decorative lights at about 11am yesterday.

A Land Rover Defender was towing the Tommy Hawk 20 when the mast got caught in the wires by the traffic light crossing from the bus terminus to the Albert Pier, St Peter Port.

The vehicle was heading towards the Weighbridge.

Boatworks+ IT manager Paul Weeks said it was looking into the incident and he did not believe it had caused any damage.

'If there is any damage we will remedy it. 'With big boats we would dismantle the mast, but it was not necessary for a small boat for such a short distance.'
