ESCORT FOR YACHT IN TOW OF PILOT LAUNCH Barry Dock, Glamorganshire. At 1.30 on the afternoon of the 5th August.

1962, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a small yacht was showing flares near the East One Fathom buoy, and that she appeared to have engine trouble. There was a moderate west-north-west wind with a slight sea. At 1.47 the life-boat Rachel and Mary Evans was launched on an ebbing tide. On reaching the position given, the life-boat found that the yacht Betty M of Penarth had been taken in tow by the Newport pilot launch. The life-boat escorted the pilot launch and the yacht back to harbour and then returned to her station, arriving at 3.15..
