Shoreham Harbour, Sussex - At 10 a.m. on gth August, 1966, a white cabin cruiser appeared to be in distress aboutfour miles south west of the station.

There was a moderate south westerly breeze with a slight sea. It was low water.

A motor boat, John VI, registered in the inshore rescue scheme, proceeded and took the cabin cruiser Belinda J. in tow.

As the boats entered the harbour the Belinda jf. overran the John VI causing the latter to capsize about 200 yards off the life-boat slipway. The life-boat Dorothy and Philip Constant was quickly launched and rescued the two occupants of the motor boat. The life-boat towed the two boats to safety and then returned to her station, arriving at 11.20..
