Port St. Mary, Isle of Man. At 12.40 early on the morning of the 26th May, 1961, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a message had been received from the motor vessel Durham that the yacht Helma II, which had a crew of two, had broken down and was in need of help about fourteen miles south of Port St. Mary. At 1.40 the life-boat R. A. Colby Cubbin No. 2 put to sea. There was a moderate northerly wind with a slight sea, and it was two hours before low water. The life-boat found the yacht about three miles south of Langness in tow of the s.s. Pointer. She took over the tow and made for Port St. Mary, arriving at five o'clock..
