Dover, Kent. At 6.59 on the morning of the 6th of January, 1961, the coast- guard informed the honorary secretary that a small boat was adrift ten miles south-west of Dover. When the life- boat Southern Africa put out at 7.30 there was a fresh to near gale force north-westerly wind with a very rough sea. It was low water. At 8.48 the life- boat found the yacht Nanyao seven miles south-west of Dover. She escorted her towards Dover, but one mile south of Shakespeare cliff the Nanyao broke down. The life-boat took her in tow to Dover harbour and returned to her station at noon..
