Zulu

Ramsey, Isle of Man.—At 10.30 on the morning of the 23rd of August, 1957, the coastguard telephoned that the harbour master at Laxey had reported a yacht making heavy weather between two and three miles off Laxey harbour.

At 10.50 the life-boat Thomas Corbett was launched. The sea was rough, there was a south-south-easterly gale blowing, and the tide was ebbing.

The life-boat came up with the yacht Zulu, of Fleetwood, which had a crew of three, three miles east-by-south of Ramsey. She escorted her to Ramsey and reached her station again at 12.10.
