Peter picks up medal for outstanding service A GAFIRS volunteer lifeboat coxswain has been recognised for dedicating 40 years to saving lives at sea for HM Coastguard. Full story on page 3

SPEEDBOAT SINKS IN MATTER OF MINUTES A QUICK–THINKING pair of sailors plucked three people out of the water after their boat sank in The Solent.

The duo from Stokes Bay Sailing Club were passing in their two-man dinghy when they spotted the speed boat sinking off Gilkicker, Stokes Bay. Gosport & Fareham Inshore

Rescue Service (GAFIRS), who were on routine patrol in Portsmouth Harbour, were alerted to the emergency by its volunteers at the lifeboat station who spotted the drama unfold.

The vessel had been overcome by the weather with a large wave smashing the windscreen and then swamping the boat,

prompting it to sink in minutes.

GAFIRS lifeboat was quickly on the scene and found the three casualties from the sinking vessel had been plucked from the water and were perched in the small sailing craft.

GAFIRS senior helm Brian Pack said: ‘The vessel had sunk

What is Gosport & Fareham Inshore Rescue Service?

Known locally as GAFIRS, the service is located at the eastern end of Stokes Bay, Gosport. It was founded in 1969 following a tragic drowning in Stokes Bay. Its lifeboats are on 24-hour call-out to UK Coastguard with its entirely unpaid voluntary members saving lives every year in the local waters.

Is GAFIRS part of the RNLI? No. At a glance you may assume the impressive lifeboat station is part of the RNLI, but you’d be wrong. It is in fact one of 64 independent lifeboat stations located around the UK which rely entirely on local support for their fundraising.

How important is GAFIRS to The Solent?

GAFIRS forms an integral part of the search-and-rescue infrastructure in The Solent. As such, it can be called upon at a moment’s notice, day or night, all year round and in the worst of weather and sea states.

How are the GAFIRS lifeboats called out?

As a declared facility, GAFIRS lifeboats are on pager call-out with UK Coastguard. From pager activation to launching the lifeboat takes just 15 minutes. Additionally, from March through until November, the lifeboat station is manned every Saturday, Sunday and bank holiday.

The duty crew are available from 0930 until 1800, which means the lifeboat is at immediate readiness to launch.

Are GAFIRS crew paid?

No – they are all volunteers. There are no paid directors, managers, fundraisers, lifeboat crews or shore teams. Everyone at GAFIRS gives their valuable time up for free. If you’d like to help, see p14 for details.

How is GAFIRS funded?

GAFIRS’ primary source of income is through public and corporate donations. The Lifeboat Lotto (see p15) provides a vital regular income.

How do people become part of GAFIRS or help?

Anyone wishing to join can obtain more information at GAFIRS.org. uk or stop by the station on a duty day, where any of the crew will be happy to help. We are always looking for fundraisers, too – please contact James Baggott using the details (left) to find out how.

Speedboat sinks in Solent Continued from page 1 so quickly the casualties were not even able to raise the alarm – it was thanks to the quick actions of the two dinghy sailors before we arrived, who had realised the speed boat was in trouble, that these three people were pulled from the water.

‘They showed exceptional skill and courage to pluck them out and into their small dinghy, in blustery conditions, without endangering their own craft.’

The casualties – two of whom were suffering from hypothermia – were transferred onto GAFIRS lifeboat and taken to shore. The lifeboat was beached and the three casualties taken

into the lifeboat station where they were treated by ambulance crews. GAFIRS lifeboat then picked out flotsam from the water which had drifted away from the sunken vessel before taking the boat under tow and back to shore.

Mr Pack added: ‘The casualties were extremely lucky that the passing dinghy spotted them and were able to help – otherwise this serious situation could have got a lot worse very quickly.’

The incident happened on April 24. Earlier that day, GAFIRS also spotted a dinghy with two people on board in need of assistance. The pair’s craft had lost its rudder and was unable to make its way back to shore.

Peter’s years of hard work honoured A VOLUNTEER lifeboat coxswain has been recognised for dedicating 40 years to saving lives at sea.

Peter Brown, 65, a helm for GAFIRS and a volunteer for Lymington Coastguard Rescue Team, was presented with the esteemed 2nd clasp to the Long Service and Good Conduct Medal at a ceremony recently.

At the special celebration, the Gosport Lifeboat helm – who was formerly chairman of GAFIRS – was honoured for his incredible service.

Mr Brown said: ‘This medal should really be going to my wife Alison, who, as my two sons will testify, is a real driving force behind the man. Over the last 40 years I have dragged her all over the country, woke her up at silly o’clock

Five rescues in less than 24 hours as GAFIRS assist sailors in distress RESCUERS were called into action five times in less than 24 hours to assist a host of people in trouble.

A medical emergency, three stricken vessels and a search following suspicious items found were tackled by Gosport & Fareham Inshore Rescue Service (GAFIRS) during a busy weekend.

On July 1, at 1947, a vessel issued a Mayday distress call off Gilkicker Point when it suffered engine failure and was dangerously adrift.

GAFIRS’ smaller inshore lifeboat was afloat training at the time and assisted a police RIB in helping the 21ft motor cruiser get safely alongside in Camber Dock.

The following morning, as crews mustered at Gosport Lifeboat Station for a 12-hour shift to help provide safety cover for the Round the Island Race, UK Coastguard requested Gosport Lifeboat to launch to a fishing vessel in trouble.

The craft, which had two adults and two children on board, had

GAFIRS lifeboat in action suffered engine failure off Gilkicker Point and its anchor was stuck fast.

GAFIRS coxswain Mike Allen said: ‘My crew boarded the vessel, checked everyone was safe and well, and were forced to cut the anchor free. We towed the vessel safely into Haslar Marina and helped the family get ashore.’

That evening, three incidents in quick succession saw GAFIRS’ volunteers spring into action. The first was a medical emergency at 1911 in Stokes Bay which saw a crew member on board a sailing vessel suffer a dislocated shoulder.

‘We placed one of our paramedic crew members on the vessel,’ explained Mr Allen. ‘He diagnosed

a dislocated shoulder and shock.

We transferred the casualty onto our lifeboat, recovered back at the station and placed him in the care of the ambulance service.’

As GAFIRS lifeboat recovered to the slipway, at 1954, a Pan Pan distress call was heard on VHF radio from a vessel in trouble in Portsmouth Harbour.

‘The police RIB was helping to tow the vessel free of a mud bank,’ explained Mr Allen. ‘We took over the tow from the police and helped get the vessel, and its crew of two adults and a child, safely alongside at Gosport Marina.’

That job completed, UK Coastguard then paged GAFIRS again to assist Hill Head and Portsmouth Coastguard Rescue Teams with a search at Stoke Lake at 2056. A paddle board and surf board were recovered by the Coastguard team, with assistance from GAFIRS, and an extensive search of the area carried out.

Chopper winches GAFIRS crewman AN EXERCISE with the Coastguard Rescue Helicopter 175 was the highlight of a funpacked GAFIRS open day.

The exercise, part of the 10th Emergency Services Day at Gosport Lifeboat Station, saw the helicopter place a winchman on board Gosport Lifeboat and then winch one of the GAFIRS crew into the aircraft.

The display showed off the capabilities of the lifeboat and helicopter which often work together to save lives in The Solent.

A host of emergency services

The teams on show at GAFIRS showcased their vehicles and equipment at the event including police, ambulance, bomb disposal and SERV blood runners.

GAFIRS fundraising officer James Baggott said: ‘GAFIRS

Lifeboat worked with Hill Head Coastguard Rescue Team and the ambulance service to show how a casualty is extracted from the water and then treated on shore.

‘The helicopter exercise was a highlight, though, and our thanks go to the team at Lee-on-the-Solent, and all the other emergency services, for spending so much time with us on the day.’

The event raised £1,028.75 for the independent charity, which is completely independent of the RNLI.

Specialists step in to help fund Land Rover refit A LAND ROVER specialist has stepped in to help give GAFIRS’ iconic rescue vehicle a much-needed overhaul.

Keith Gott Land Rovers, based in Alton, kindly gave Gosport Rescue Mobile – the service’s S-registration Land Rover – the once over, charging GAFIRS just five per cent of the entire bill.

The work included gearbox,

suspension and engine tweaks to the all-terrain vehicle which is often used in searches for missing persons by GAFIRS or for launching the smaller inshore lifeboat.

GAFIRS engineering lead, Lance Stevens, said: ‘I can’t thank the team at Keith Gott enough for the work they put into Gosport Rescue Mobile. It now drives like new once again.’

Two yachts aground assisted by Gosport lifeboat in busy weekend TWO yachts aground in the space of less than 12 hours kept rescuers from an independent lifeboat station busy.

As temperatures soared across the south, so too did the work load for GAFIRS. The first tasking came at 2130 on June 16 when UK Coastguard called on GAFIRS to assist a vessel aground on Bramble Bank.

GAFIRS senior coxswain Brian Pack said: ‘I placed a crewman on board the vessel who assessed for damage. He rigged an astern tow and we slowly eased the vessel off the bank.’

GAFIRS escorted the vessel to Cowes, Isle of Wight, to ensure it returned to port safely.

Just seven hours later, at 0600 on June 17, GAFIRS were paged to assist a second vessel aground, this time in Portsmouth Harbour.

A crewman was placed on board

Yacht refloated in the harbour the yacht and the lifeboat pulled her free.

At 1108, GAFIRS was tasked to investigate an unmanned vessel which had been spotted near Lee-on-the-Solent. Crews found the 8ft tender was waterlogged and investigated for any signs of

life or persons missing. GAFIRS identified the owner and safely returned it.

Later that afternoon crews helped a person in their tender get back on their yacht near Seaview, Isle of Wight, after they had been in the water for 20 minutes and became exhausted.

The skipper had been attempting to clear a fouled prop. A paramedic GAFIRS crewman assessed the casualty, the vessel was towed to Bembridge and the skipper handed to ambulance crews.

Later that day GAFIRS helped a small mirror dinghy and then on Sunday gave first aid to member of the public at Stokes Bay. Then, on Monday, June 19, crews were paged to investigate a Personal Locator Beacon that had been activated. It turned out to be a false alarm.

Sailors pulled from the sea after dinghy capsizes TWO sailors were plucked from the water by rescuers after their dinghy capsized in The Solent.

Gosport & Fareham Inshore Rescue Service was tasked by UK Coastguard at around 1500 on July 9 to assist the two sailors who were struggling to right their craft in Stokes Bay, Gosport, and had been in the water too long.

One of the sailors had managed to climb on board a passing yacht and the second was pulled out of the water by the crew of Gosport independent lifeboat.

Stricken speedboat towed GAFIRS coxswain Pete Byford said: ‘We transferred both casualties onto the lifeboat and towed the dinghy back to shore.

One of the sailors was suffering from the affects of being in the water so an ambulance was called.’

The casualty was checked over by paramedics and later discharged. Hill Head Coastguard Rescue Team also assisted GAFIRS. The incident was the second that weekend. The first came at lunchtime the day before when GAFIRS was tasked by UK Coastguard to assist a 16ft speedboat, which had suffered engine failure off Gilkicker.

The vessel was towed back to Hardway Sailing Club, placed alongside, and the casualties helped safely ashore.

Single-handed sailor stricken in The Solent

Speedboat on the rocks pulled to safety RESCUERS were called to a speedboat that was smashing against rocks on Southsea seafront after its engine failed.

GAFIRS was on routine patrol near Portsmouth Harbour entrance at 1145 on May 13 when UK Coastguard tasked them to assist.

Sailor got into trouble while crossing the English Channel A SINGLE-HANDED sailor who got into trouble on his way back from France to Portsmouth was assisted by rescuers.

The skipper of the 24ft yacht called the Coastguard for assistance when a sail got caught in the boat’s propeller in the middle of the English Channel and knocked out drive.

Gosport & Fareham Inshore Rescue Service (GAFIRS) was paged by UK Coastguard at 0806 on June 10 and located the casualty vessel off Horse Sand Fort in The Solent.

Senior helm Brian Pack said: ‘We soon found the yacht and placed a crewman on board to assist. We rigged a towline and took the vessel in a stern tow to Portsmouth Harbour where we assisted getting it safely alongside.’

In total the operation lasted three hours and was the 42nd of the year for GAFIRS. Just 24 hours later the

volunteer lifeboat crews were in action again when they were tasked to assist a nine-metre RIB that was beached at Lee-on-the-Solent.

The vessel, which had three people on board, was taking on water, so two GAFIRS crewmen used a salvage pump to remove the water. It was then taken under tow to Haslar Marina where it was placed safely alongside.

As Gosport independent lifeboat was leaving the harbour to return to its base at Stokes Bay, Gosport, crews were asked to assist a third vessel which had been struck by engine failure.

Working with Portsmouth Harbour Patrol, GAFIRS lifeboat put the vessel in an alongside tow and placed it back in its berth.

GAFIRS is completely independent of the RNLI and relies on public donations to keep it afloat.

GAFIRS lifeboat crew assist the speedboat GAFIRS coxswain Peter Byford said: ‘When we arrived the small speedboat was on the rocks. I placed a crewman on the shore to assess the situation and he found the vessel had been swamped and was taking on more water with every wave that crashed over the stern. As everyone was safe and well the priority was securing the vessel.’

GAFIRS lifeboat crew worked alongside Portsmouth Coastguard Rescue Team and Portsea Rescue’s volunteer team to make the vessel safe on the shore.

GAFIRS crewman sails catamaran to port after sailor suffers injury A 35-YEAR-OLD sailor who suffered a head injury when his vessel overturned in The Solent was assisted by the crews of an independent lifeboat.

The man, from Portsmouth, was sailing with a friend on a 5.9-metre catamaran when they were overturned near No Man’s Land Fort on June 3.

GAFIRS Lifeboat was on patrol in the area when it noticed the crew of the catamaran was struggling to right the vessel. UK Coastguard tasked GAFIRS to investigate and when they arrived on the scene at around 1430 the catamaran had just managed to right itself.

GAFIRS Lifeboat coxswain Mike

A GAFIRS crewman sails the catamaran back to port Allen said: ‘I placed a crewman on board the catamaran to assist with sailing it back to its home port on Hayling Island as it was clear the crew was tired.

‘However, my crewman noticed one of the sailors had suffered a head injury and was beginning to

feel drowsy and sick. The bruising was getting worse so we called for assistance to meet us on shore.’

Hayling Island Coastguard Rescue Team and an ambulance met the casualties when they arrived at the Ferry Boat Inn pontoon to provide treatment.

Powerboat pulled to safer waters A STRIKEN motorboat that had been stranded in rolling seas and high winds was pulled to safety by rescuers.

The 34ft powerboat had been struck by engine failure close to the Browndown shore but had managed to drop its anchor.

UK Coastguard paged Gosport & Fareham Inshore Rescue Service at 1643 on June 5 to assist the vessel, which had two people on board, as high winds and waves began to cause it difficulties.

GAFIRS placed a crewman on board, attached a towline and pulled it to safety. One of the crew on board was also treated for a minor injury to their hand.

Drifting jetskiers found and taken back to shore TWO jet skiers left dangerously drifting in The Solent were assisted by rescue crews.

GAFIRS was launched by UK Coastguard to assist the jet skis which had been struck with engine failure one after the other on May 25.

The jet skiers were reported to be drifting around a mile south of Gosport Lifeboat Station, Stokes Bay, when GAFIRS independent lifeboat was launched at 2013. Rescuers soon located them alongside a military landing vessel, which had towed them out of trouble.

GAFIRS senior coxswain Brian Pack said: ‘We took over

Jetskiers and military vessel the tow from a military vessel and placed the two jet skiers on board the lifeboat. One was starting to feel particularly cold as the sun was beginning to set so we helped warm him up.

‘With the jet skis under a stern tow we took them back to Calshot where they had left their cars and trailers. They were both grateful for the assistance.’

Lifeboat crew tows drifting RIB to safety from busy shipping channel RESCUERS were called to assist a RIB which had lost power and was dangerously adrift in a shipping channel on June 3.

The vessel, which had two persons on board, issued a Pan Pan distress call when it lost power off Gilkicker, Stokes Bay, Gosport.

The crew of the five-metre boat had been on an early morning fishing trip when they attempted to restart the vessel and the engine failed. GAFIRS was paged to assist

by UK Coastguard at 0710 and was on the scene a few minutes later.

GAFIRS senior helm Brian Pack said: ‘We helped tow the vessel back to its home port at Ryde.’

Once at Ryde the tow was

GAFIRS crew in action released and a crewman assisted the vessel back to shore. In total the operation lasted two hours.

Only a few hours later, GAFIRS was paged again, this time to assist another vessel in trouble. A small sailing dinghy had capsized in Stokes Bay and was unable to right itself. A concerned member of the pubic had watched the two

crew struggle to right the craft for around 15 minutes and contacted the Coastguard.

GAFIRS crews were alerted and soon on the scene. They checked the sailors were safe and offered assistance. The busy morning came just two days after GAFIRS’ last call out, when UK Coastguard alerted the volunteer crews to a vessel in need of assistance on June 1.

A 24ft sailing vessel was moored to the Pier Buoy at Stokes Bay and had lost drive. GAFIRS crews offered to tow the vessel back to Portsmouth Harbour, however a family member in a second vessel arrived on the scene and provided a tow to Langstone Harbour instead.
