A sailor had to be rescued after the wind dropped and his engine failed.

The man was helped off the coast of Bognor at about 11.15am on Friday.

But when he dropped his sails he found he had problems with his engine and steering.

Littlehampton lifeboat crew were called and used their Atlantic 75 lifeboat Blue Peter 1 to tow the 30-foot yacht, which had set out from Hayling Island, into the harbour.
