Richard Pearce, 66, who works at Boatworks+, was raising money for Channel Islands Air Search and the Guernsey branch of the RNLI.

'Normally we have races around the harbour, but as we haven't done it this year, I thought I'd do something different by sailing around the Vermerette beacon and back,' he said.

It took Mr Pearce 38 minutes to reach Vermerette and about one hour 29 minutes to get back because of a head wind.
