Dinghy and motorboat SHOREHAM HARBOUR ILB launched at 1519 on Tuesday, May 27, two minutes after the honorary secretary had been informed by the Coastguard that a dinghy had capsized one mile off Lancing. The sea was smooth with strong north-east-by-northerly winds.

On arrival a sailing dinghy was found righted but with her mainsail parted.

The helmsman was transferred to the ILB and landed with his dinghy.

Meanwhile, another message reported red flares about 2J miles south east of the harbour. The ILB setting out again found the motorboat Buccaneer with a fishing vessel Sea Quest standing by.

Buccaneer was taken in tow to theharbour and berthed at Kingston Wharf.

The ILB returned to station at 1637.

The owner of the sailing dinghy made a donation to the Institution's funds..
