Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Nor- folk. At 8.46 on the evening of the 26th of March, 1961, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the yacht Hustler, with one man on board, was out of control on Breydon Water. At 8.50 when the life-boat Louise Stephens was launched, there was a gentle north- west-by-westerly wind with a corre- sponding sea. The tide was half ebb.

The life-boat had some difficulty in find- ing the Hustler. She finally did so at 9.55.

The yacht was aground, and the man was taken on board the life-boat and landed at Gorleston. The life-boat then returned to her station, arriving at 11.19.
