Search launched after empty dinghy spotted in Solent
RESCUE crews are carrying out an emergency search of the Solent after an empty dinghy was found floating adrift.
A passing boat first spotted the dinghy just before 8am this morning and Solent Coastguard was launched to find the vessel with Cowes Lifeboat despatched to help locate any missing crew.
It is thought that at least one person was on board the boat because it was still equipped with its outboard motor which was full of fuel.
