Selsey RNLI took nearly four hours to search for a broken down boat yesterday, as the three-man crew didn't know how to use the navigational equipment.

The UK Coastguard requested the Selsey all-weather lifeboat (ALB) at 1.42pm on Tuesday (January 10) after reports of a 32ft vessel suffering machine failure off Pagham Harbour close inshore.

A Selsey RNLI spokesperson said: “While the crew were mustering there was a doubt to the position given as Pagham is visible from the offshore boathouse and no vessels could be seen.
