CLUNG TO HULL At 5.47 p.m. on 7th September, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that the police had reported the capsizing of a sailing dinghy off Seaside Villas, Hove. Her crew of three were dinging to the hull, about half a mile offshore. There was a strong wind with a moderate sea. It was one hour before low water when the life-boat Dorothy and Philip Constant was launched at 5.55.

Very soon she was alongside the overturned dinghy and two youths were pulled on board. The third youth had swum safely ashore. When the life-boat returned to her station at 6.35 one of the youths had to be placed on a stretcher, and both were taken to hospital by ambulance.

A donation was made to the Institution by the mother of one of the boys..
