YACHT ESCORTED TO ANCHORAGE Poole, Dorset. At 5.20 on the afternoon of the 14th August, 1962, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a yacht appeared to be in difficulties off Hook Sands. There was a strong south-easterly breeze with a rough sea. The weather was fine. The life-boat Bassett Green put out at 5.35 on a flood tide, and at six o'clock she came up with the yacht Cashlow, which had two people on board. She escorted the yacht to an anchorage which was safe, for the wind had by then backed to the south-west and had moderated.

The life-boat reached her station, arriving at 7.45..
