The volunteer crew of Eastbourne’s all-weather lifeboat (ALB) were requested help escort a vessel across the shipping lanes yesterday morning (October 27).
The lifeboat was launched at 4am and was out for a total of nine hours assisting the French vessel.
It was reported the yacht was travelling erratically in the shipping lanes without navigation lights and in worsening sea conditions.
