Weymouth, Dorset. At 7.41 on the morning of the 6th October, 1961, the coastguard informed the honorary sec- retary that the yacht Paulina needed help five miles south of Portland Bill.

The life-boat Lloyd's, on temporary duty at the station, left her moorings at 8.10 in a south-south-easterly gale and a very rough sea. It was two hoursafter high water. Several other vessels and helicopters also joined in the search for the yacht. The motor vessel City of Waterford of Dublin found the Paulina with her engine broken down and a crew of four twelve miles south-south-east of Anvil Point. The motor vessel took her in tow. The life-boat later took over the tow, and the yacht was brought to Poole. The life-boat eventually reached her station at 9.30..
