Bembridge, Isle of Wight. At 6.9 on the evening of the 16th of April, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a resident of Seaview had reported seeing a yacht apparently in distress off Seaview. At 6.15, when the tide was about half ebb, the life-boat Jesse Hunt was launched in a light north-easterly wind and a moderate sea.

The life-boat found the yacht Saint Iluce, with a crew of two, drifting with her engine out of action and her sails carried away. She took her in tow to her station, arriving at 8.30. Re- wards to the crew, £7 4s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3 5s..
