Walton and Frinton, Essex.—About 2.25 on the morning of the 10th of May, 1951, the coastguard telephoned that a pilot cutter had wirelessed him. A yacht was in difficulties and needed help, a quarter of a mile north-west by west of the Sunk lightvessel. At 2.55 the life-boat E.M.E.D. left her moor- ings, in a rough sea with a fresh north- north-east breeze blowing. She found the yacht Fortoyn II, of Rotterdam, with a crew of six. Her topmast had broken while she had been racing from the Hook of Holland to the Sunk lightvessel. Her crew asked to be taken into harbour. The life-boat thereupon towed her to Harwich and reached her station again at 11.0.— Property Salvage Case..
