A Selsey all-weather lifeboat dealt with two emergency incidents at Chichester Harbour on Wednesday afternoon.

The UK Coastguard first received an emergency call from a 24ft motor boat Maverick, which reported engine failure, and the skipper gave his position as three miles south west of the lifeboat station.

However, as the lifeboat was departing the harbour after dealing with this situation at 6.43pm, the coastguard then received reports of an 18ft speed boat with three people on board had 'broken down' inside the harbour and 'they could see the lifeboat'.
