A Dinghy (1)

Mudeford, Hampshire. At 6.2 p.m.

on 20th September, 1965, the coastguard reported that a dinghy had capsized about half a mile west of the harbour entrance. At 6.5 the IRB launched in a slight southerly breeze and a corresponding sea with heavy ground swell. She found two people clinging to the capsized dinghy. They were taken on board the IRB, which returned to her station at 6.25 p.m..
