Shoreham Harbour, Sussex. At 5.46 on the evening of the 8th June, 1961, the coastguard informed the honorary sec- retary that a small sailing boat had capsized a mile off Lancing, and that four people had been in the water for about twenty minutes. There was a light west-south-westerly breeze with a slight sea and a flood tide. At 5.50 the life-boat Rosa Woodd and Phyllis Lunn was launched. She found that the sailing boat was being towed by a rowing boat and that the four people were safe. The life-boat stood by with a helicopter until the boats reached the shore and then returned to her station, arriving at 7.30..
