AN UNMANNED sailing dinghy which went adrift on The Solent sparked an Isle of Wight lifeboat launch. 

Cowes RNLI lifeboat was called out at 3.33pm today (Friday).

The crew found the 14ft sailing dinghy, which had taken on a lot of water, off Fishbourne.

The boat, which appeared to be linked to a sailing club in Portsmouth, was towed into Cowes Harbour.

The dinghy, with a harbour launch, was delivered to Shepards Marina.
