Shoreham Harbour, Sussex. At 4.34 on the afternoon of the 7th of June, 1959, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that the police at Worthing had reported that a yacht had capsized west of the pier off Goring beach. The life-boat Rosa Woodd and Phyllis Lunn was launched at 4.41 in a gentle south- westerly breeze. There was a slight sea, and the tide was ebbing. While the life-boat was making for the position a message was received by radio-telephone that the yacht had been towed ashore and her crew were safe. The life-boat was recalled and was making for Shoreham when a further message was received that a small yacht appeared in difficulties close inshore near the eastbeach at Southwick. The life-boat found the sailing yacht Frambee of Shoreham, whose crew of four were waving clothing to attract attention.

The yacht was waterlogged, and the life-boat took her in tow, reaching her station at 6.30. Rewards to the crew, £11 5s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £2 Us..
