Lifeboat volunteers went to the rescue of a 15-ton fishing boat which had broken down.
Three fishermen onboard the vessel Next Week messaged for help at 11.44am on Monday after suffering engine failure.
They were fishing for whelks when they got into trouble two miles south of Birling Gap.
Newhaven's RNLI lifeboat towed the 28ft boat to shore to be repaired.
