COASTGUARDS from Hill Head and the Gosport Lifeboat were called to rescue a 31ft French yacht drifting into shipping lanes in Southampton Water.
Phoenix had entangled herself in the chains of the Cowes Ferry and had to be towed into Haslar Marina.
Crews were then diverted from an exercise to a boat which had suffered electrical failure in Stokes Bay and helped a 19ft yacht which had run aground in Portsmouth Harbour.
