A yacht skipper pulled a man out of the sea during a boat race.
William Camp was captain on board Skellig, one of the yachts involved in a 25-mile race to Eastborough Head.
About 20 vessels took part in the race from the Sussex Yacht Club in Brighton Road, Shoreham, which started shortly after 9am on Sunday.
About two hours into the race, nine miles off the coast of Worthing, a man overboard call went out from a vessel ahead.
Mr Camp, of Penfold Road, Worthing, noticed a catamaran had stopped and one of its crew was pointing into the water.
He manoeuvred his yacht towards the boat and saw a man in the water. He helped him climb a ladder attached to the stern of his boat and returned him to his own vessel.
Mr Camp, 37, said: "I would hate to be singled out."
Sussex Yachts Club bosun Bob Page said: "Usually catamaran crews are able to effect their own rescues but the waves were so choppy they didn't want to lose sight of him."
