The catamaran was towed from the lower lake, and the rescue operation was conducted near Lake Constance. The entire operation was carried out smoothly and efficiently, ensuring the safety of the two men involved.

This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of emergency services and the vital role they play in ensuring the safety of those on our waters.
