ANXIETY ABOUT TWO Selsey, Sussex. At 8 p.m. on 28th July, 1964, a member of the life-boat crew told the honorary secretary that concern was felt for the safety of two young men in a sailing dinghy about two miles east of Selsey Bill. They appeared to have gone aground. There was a slight sea with a moderate westerly breeze.

The tide was at low water. There was a warning of a strong breeze, and it was known that there were no flares aboard the sailing dinghy. The life-boat Canadian Pacific was launched at 9 p.m. She took the dinghy Fame in tow at 9.20 and reached harbour soon afterwards. She returned to her station at 10.10..
