Yimkin

Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. — On the morning of the 31st of August, 1952, it was reported that a small yacht had capsized between Black Rock Buoy and Hurst Point, and at 11.35 the life-boat S.G.E. left her moorings. The sea was rough, with a strong westerly wind blowing, and she found the fourteen-feet International Class sail- ing dinghy Yimkin north-west of Black Rock Buoy. Her crew of two had been picked up by a motor boat.

The life-boat towed the dinghy to Yarmouth and reached her station again at 12.50 that afternoon.— Property Salvage Case..
