CREW TAKEN OFF DISMASTED YACHT Redcar, Yorkshire. At 12.40 on the afternoon of the 26th August, 1962, the coastguard informed the motor mechanic that a small yacht appeared to be in difficulties a mile and a half northeast of Saltscar buoy. The life-boat City of Leeds was launched at 12.48 in a south-westerly gale and a rough sea. It was an hour and a half before high water. The life-boat made for the position given and found the yacht dismasted and with her engine broken down. Her crew of three were taken on board the life-boat, which then towed the yacht to harbour. The yacht's crew were treated on board the life-boat for shock. The life-boat reached her station at 3.40..
