YACHT ESCORTED INTO HARBOUR Ramsgate, Kent. At 6.3 on the evening of the 1st April, 1962, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a yacht was in difficulties half a mile east of Quern buoy and was flying distress signals. There was a fresh southwesterly wind and the sea was rough.

The weather was cloudy and squally.

At 6.15 the life-boat Michael and Lily Davis put out on the flooding tide. On reaching the position given the life-boat found the yacht Ann Young with her main sail jammed aloft. The yacht also had engine trouble, and the life-boat escorted her into Ramsgate harbour and then returned to her station, which she reached at 7.25..
