YACHT REFLOATED ON RISING TIDE Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. At 5.35 on the evening of the 20th April, 1962, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a small yacht was aground on the Shingles bank at the entrance to the Solent. The life-boat S.G.E. left her moorings at 5.50, at low water, in a light south-easterly breeze and a calm sea. She found the yacht Shenkin with a crew of four and stood by her to await the rising tide. At 7.10 the yacht refloated, and after making sure that the yacht was not damaged the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 7.39..
