A Selsey lifeboat was launched after receiving a Pan Pan urgency call from a small yacht.

The UK Coastguard requested the launch after receiving the call from the loan skipper of the yacht requesting assistance saying he was exhausted and making no headway.

The RNLI D class inshore lifeboat (ILB) launched at 2.20pm on Monday, October 24 and headed to the yacht which could be seen from the boathouse approximately 0.75 mile north east of the lifeboat station.
