Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. At 2.25 on the afternoon of the 28th of November, 1959, the coastguard told the honorary secretary of a report received by the police at Lyndhurst that a yacht was aground off the entrance to the Beaulieu river. After the report had been con- firmed by the honorary secretary the life-boat S.G.E. was launched at 2.55.

It was low water, and there was a rough sea with a strong southerly wind.

The life-boat found the yacht, the eight- ton cutter Vynesta, off Needs Oar Point. She was aground with her canvas badly torn. The life-boat towed her to harbour, reaching her station at 6.30. Rewards to the crew, £10 10s..
