Fishguard, Pembrokeshire. At two o'clock on the afternoon of the 29th August, 1961, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a yacht had capsized off Divas Head. At 2.14 the life-boat Howard Marryat was launched in a south-south-easterly wind of near gale force and a rough sea. It was two hours before low water. On reaching the position, the coxswain found that the crew of two of the yacht Enterprise had been rescued by other boats in the area. The life-boat took the yacht in tow and reached her station at 4.30.

The owner of the yacht made a donation to the branch funds..
