Mudeford, Hampshire. At 12.15 p.m. on loth July, 1964, a member of the inshore rescue boat crew saw a speedboat capsize half a mile off shore from the harbour entrance. The inshore rescue boat immediately launched in a fresh north-westerly breeze and slight sea.

The tide was ebbing. The inshore rescue boat found the speedboat Gale Gazelle with her crew of two in the water. They were taken on board the inshore rescue boat and with the speedboat in tow she made for her station. A shore boat, which also put out to assist, took over the tow and the inshore rescue boat returned to her station at 12.45. A helicopter was also airborne..
