Early call for new Clacton lifeboat

Clacton-on-Sea took delivery of its new “D” class lifeboat at lunchtime and hardly before the crew had time to get it wet it was called into action when two kite-surfers became entangled.

They were off Martello Bay just before 6pm where the lifeboat crew were familiarising themselves with the new boat when one of the crew spotted the two men in the water.
