Eastbourne Lifeboat crew launched twice yesterday (9 July).
The All Weather Lifeboat was called into action first, after a yacht started taking on water, 24 miles south of Sovereign Harbour. A nearby fishing vessel was put on standby until the crew arrived and were able to tow the stricken boat back to the Harbour.
Later, the Inshore Lifeboat was called to help a person who’d become cut off by the tide at The Seven Sisters Country Park.
