EMPTY YACHT TOWED TO QUAY Fleetwood, Lancashire. At 1.55 on the afternoon of the 19th June, 1962, the motor mechanic told the honorary secretary that a yacht had broken adrift from her moorings at Knott End and was being carried out across Pilling Sands by the ebb tide and a strong west-south-westerly wind. The weather was too bad for an inshore boat to go after the yacht, and at 2.25 the life-boat Ann Letitia Russell was launched in a rough sea. She came up with the yacht Tocoba of Fleetwood, but found no one on board. The coxswain put two of his crew on board, and the yacht was taken in tow to Jubilee quay. The life-boat reached her station at four o'clock, but because of bad weather she was moored at the north end until she could be rehoused at seven o'clock..
