Narrative:The instructor and student had levelled off at 800 feet after the climb and were about to commence a dual low-flying training exercise when the engine failed. Engine trouble checks were carried out to no avail and a Mayday call was made. The most suitable landing area was the beach but a closer inspection revealed logging debris and driftwood. The decision was made to ditch in the sea as close to the shore as possible. The aircraft flipped in the surf and came to rest inverted by the shoreline.
