Selsey inshore lifeboat “Betty and Thomas Moore” launched at 0941 to go to the assistance of the local 24-foot fishing boat Pisces II with two male persons on board.
The lifeboat arrived on scene approximately 1 mile east of the station at 09:55 and ascertained that the Pisces II had suffered gearbox failure. A tow was attached and the vessel and two occupants were towed back to their own moorings at Selsey. Arriving at 10:23 the lifeboat crew assisted the vessel to connect their mooring before being released to return to station at 10:25, arriving back at 10:28 and recovering immediately. The lifeboat was made ready for service once more at 10:45.
