We launch to assist Hayling Island ILB that had requested assistance with towing a 24ft yacht “Doxy” that was meeting adverse conditions in force 8-9 southerly winds south of Chichester.
The lifeboat made best speed and rendezvoused with Hayling and the casualty by the Dean Tail wreck buoy.
Hayling had the casualty lying head to sea but was unable to make much headway in the conditions and the decision was made to take over the tow, Hayling had a crewman aboard the casualty having been transferred across sometime earlier.
