== History ==
The RNLI first opened a lifeboat station on Hayling Island in 1865.〔For Those In Peril – The Lifeboat Service of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, Station by Station. Author: Leach, Nicholas. Publisher: Silver Link Publishing Ltd, First Issue 1999. Work:Part 2, South Coast of England – Eastbourne to Weston-super-Mare, Page 76/77, Hayling Island. ISBN 1 85794 129 2〕 The station was opened after the Vicar of Hayling Island, the Rev Charles Hardy had written to the RNLI in London and to the local newspaper to voice his concerns over recent events and ship rescues which had occurred in the area. He highlighted two events which had occurred in 1862. The first involved a Portsmouth Sloop called Cygnet which had run aground in a gale on the 17 October 1862.〔Lifeboat Gallantry – RNLI Medals and how they were won. Author:Cox, barry. Publisher:Spink & Son Ltd and the RNLI. Work: Page 132, GOLDRING Wiliiam, FARMER David and SPRAGG James. ISBN 0 907605 89 3〕 The crew of three had been clinging to the rigging with the waves washing over them. With very little equipment and a lot of courage three local fishing men had managed to save the crew from the wrecked ship. For there efforts, three local fisherman, William Goldring, David Farmer and James Spragg were awarded silver medals by the RNLI.〔 The second incident highlighted by the reverend happened on the 14 January 1865 when the schooner ''Ocean'' of Plymouth was blown on to the Woolsiner Sandbanks. The heavy seas soon swamped the vessel and two of her crew were swept away to there death. Eventually a ten oared cutter crewed by twelve fishermen with local knowledge managed to save three men from the stricken vessel. For his part in the rescue, Major Francis Festing,〔Lifeboat Gallantry – RNLI Medals and how they were won. Author:Cox, barry. Publisher:Spink & Son Ltd and the RNLI.
