UK Coastguard (Dover) paged the volunteer crew at Selsey RNLI at 12.01 p.m. on Friday 9th June.
The inshore Lifeboat was requested to launch and go to the assistance of a windsurfer reported to be in difficulty off Felpham near Bognor Regis. The wind was South Westerly force 5 in sunshine.
With the Lifeboat at the water’s edge and the crew about to board, the Coastguards reported that the windsurfer was OK and stood the Lifeboat and crew down.
