After a long search the lifeboat located the casualties off Beaulieu Spit. The jet ski was semi – submerged and was being towed by the other jet ski.  The 3 people were brought onto the lifeboat and taken to Lymington.  The lifeboat then returned to the Beaulieu River and secured the jet skis to a safe location

The lifeboat searched around the Needles but the crew could not locate the casualty vessel with 2 people on board.  The lifeboat was stood down after the Coastguard confirmed a passing vessel has picked up the jet ski and passengers.

The sailing yacht had gone aground on the Shingles Bank near the Needles.  The Lymington lifeboat eventually managed to establish a tow once the tide had risen enough.  Once in deeper water the skipper of the yacht checked to see there was no water ingress and then proceeded on their journey.

The lifeboat located the motorboat near Oxley Lake and the people onboard taken onto the lifeboat.  A tow was established and taken back to Yarmouth.

The lifeboat was quick to locate the casualties and were brought back to safety at the Lymington Harbour. The lifeboat retuned to the RIB and re-floated the vessel and a lifeboat crew member motored the vessels back to the Harbour Masters pontoon.

The lifeboat launched to assist a kitesurfer, called by a member of the public.  The lifeboat was swift to launch and reached the surfer within 3 mins of launching. The kitesurfer was very well prepared and was slow to reach the shoreline given the drop in wind. He was recovered back onto the lifeboat and taken back to Lymington.

The lifeboat launched to reports of flares near Berthon Marina.  After conducting a thorough search of the area and local Coastguard teams and police finding spent flares, the lifeboat was stood down.

The lifeboat launched swiftly to rescue a 49er dinghy and safety boat which had suffered engine failure.  The lifeboat took both casualty vessels under tow back to the Lymington Harbour Master pontoon.

The Lymington crew were called to their first rescue of the New Year, to help a yacht with 3 people on board near the Shingle Bank.  A tow was established and the yacht was taken back to Lymington
