RedactedNarrative: On Saturday April 14, 2012 at 17:45 I was dispatched to a stranded sailboat in skipper bay.  The sail boat operator stated to dispatch that their motor had fallen off and they were out of control and being pushed by 20 - 30 MPH winds and 3 - 4 foot waves toward shore.  I responded to the area alone and was unable to secure a tow line onto the vessel.  I called out Ranger and we responded to the vessel and we were also unable to successfully attach a tow line to the vessel.  We then requested Utah County Search and Rescue to respond to the area and with their assistance we were finally able to attach a tow line.  However, as we were attempting to pull the sailboat out of the mud the I-Bolt came out of the bow of the boat.  We then removed the five people off the vessel and 8 Search and Rescue members were able to remove it off the mud and we were able to take it under tow and return it to the Provo Marina without further incident.
