Shoreham RNLI lifeboats were launched three times in nine hours on Saturday afternoon and early on Sunday with the inshore lifeboat being called first to a man entering the water fully clothed by the West Pier Brighton. The crew conducted a search but the man was found ashore and in the care of ambulance medics.

The all weather lifeboat was then launched an hour and 30 minutes later to a report of a broken down 34ft yacht from Brighton. The vessel had actually made its way to Shoreham Harbour and a nearby fishing boat then towed it through the harbour locks so the lifeboat stood by until it had entered the locks and then berthed.
