Selsey, Sussex - At 1.54 p.m. on 25th June, 1967, it was learned that during a sudden storm a boat had capsized and two men were in the water off Selsey Bill and other small boats were in difficulties.

The life-boat Canadian Pacific was launched in a strong south westerly wind gusting to gale and a rough sea. The tide was flooding. As the life-boat roundedSelsey Bill, a helicopter rescued two men from the water. The coastguard then fired a rocket to indicate another small boat in difficulties. The life-boat went alongside a small fibre glass dinghy and the three people on board grabbed the scrambling net and were taken aboard. The life-boat then went at full speed to a dinghy further south and took two men off in a similar manner. After searching the area and finding no other people in distress the life-boat returned to her moorings at 3.5 and was rehoused at 7.30..
