The Falmouth Coastguard requested Dart RNLI inshore lifeboat to check on a reported capsize and full
overturning of a sailing boat at Dittisham. A rigid inflatable was on site but was having difficulty
holding on and checking whether all had been recovered or whether there
were still persons in the water. On arrival the crew of the Dart B class lifeboat ascertained that only one person was on the dinghy involved and that the safety boat had picked them up. They were stood down by the coastguard and returned to station.
