Teams had to rush out to help the crew of a small motor boat after their vessel suffered an engine failure which left them stranded without any power four miles south of Littlehampton’s harbour entrance.
Lifeboat teams launched in the Atlantic 75 Blue Peter 1 shortly after 2.30pm and towed the stricken ship back into the harbour with the RNLI crew returning to its base, at Fishermans Quay, by 3,49pm.

Again, a crew was scrambled. However, on arrival and after a search of the area, the lifeboat team received a call from the coastguard informing them that the teen was out of the water and safely on the beach.
The crew stood down and returned to Littlehampton, arriving back at their headquarter by 8.40pm.
