Solent Coastguard asked us to assist a 20ft boat belonging to two fishermen that had broken down at the top of Chichester Harbour. The fishermen did not have a VHF radio but used a mobile phone to call for help. The boat was found anchored near the Emsworth S Cardinal Beacon and was taken in tow to it’s mooring off Northney Marina. The fisherman and his son were then brought ashore at the marina.
The lifeboat returned to the station and was made ready for further service.
