SAILING DINGHY FOUND AFTER SEARCH Girvan, Ayrshire. At 6.30 on the evening of the 28th April, 1962, a member of the Girvan yacht club informed the honorary secretary that a sailing dinghy with two young men on board was overdue from a sailing trip.

They had last been seen heading for Ailsa Craig and had been expected to return by four o'clock. The life-boat Glencoe, Glasgow, on temporary duty at the station, left her moorings at 6.55 in a light easterly wind and a slight sea.

The tide was flooding. At 7.26 the Ailsa Craig lighthouse reported that a dinghy answering to the description of the overdue boat was heading towards Ballantrae. The dinghy was found in Landalfoot Bay with the two young men safely on board. The life-boat escorted the dinghy back to Girvan, which was reached at 8.50. The parents of the young men made a donation to the Institution..
