RNLI Eastbourne said: "On Sunday, August 31, at 6.02pm, Solent Coastguard requested our all-weather lifeboat to locate and assist a sailing vessel that issued a Pan Pan urgency call after suffering from engine failure and torn sails.
"The crew located the stricken vessel, who had managed to deploy their anchor, half a mile south of Bulverhythe.
"The coxswain determined that the most effective way to remove the two casualties onboard from danger, and prevent any further hazards to navigation, was to tow the vessel into the safe haven of Sovereign Harbour.
"Both vessels arrived safely into the marina just before 9pm and the casualties were left in the care of harbour staff."
