Swanage, Dorset. At 6.44 on the evening of the 4th of August, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary sec- retary that the motor vessel Camroux I of London had a yacht in tow which she wished to hand over. As no other boat was available, the life-boat R.L.P. was launched at 6.59 in a light south- westerly breeze and a smooth sea. The tide was half ebb. The life-boat took over the tow of the yacht Fairwinds, which had a crew of two, a mile and a half east of Peveril Point and towed her to moorings in Swanage Bay. The life- boat arrived back at her station at 7.25.

Rewards to the crew, £7 ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £2 8s..
