Eastbourne, Sussex - At 4 p.m. on 29th May, 1966, when the IRB was on exercise, a capsized dinghy was sighted.

Her crew of two were in the water and appeared to be in difficulties. There was a fresh easterly wind and a moderate swell.

They were quickly rescued by the IRB and put ashore. The IRB took a fresh crew for the dinghy and stood by while the sailing club rescue boat towed the dinghy ashore..
