20 March: Lymington and Yarmouth Five people onboard a 12m yacht, Sea Jay IV, called for help when her mast collapsed and went overboard after catastrophic gear failure in high winds off Hurst Castle. Lymington inshore crew stabilised the situation, but the tide and wind prevented them from completing the rescue. The more powerful Yarmouth all-weather lifeboat was then called to the scene and towed the yacht safely back to Yarmouth.
