Windward

Helvick Head, Co. Waterford.—Just before six o'clock on the evening of the 6th August, 1950, the yacht Windward, of Helvick, with a crew of three, was seen to strike the Dungarvan Harbour Bar near Ballinacourty Point and heel over. At six o'clock the life-boat H. F. Bailey was launched in a south- westerly breeze and calm sea. She found the yacht aground. Some of the men in the boarding boat which the life-boat had brought with her took a rope to the yacht; and the life-boatthen towed her into deep water. She arrived back at her station at half past seven.—Rewards, £6 11s..
