YACHT TOWED OFF ROCKS IN GALE Angle, Pembrokeshire. At 12.47 on the afternoon of the 29th September, 1962, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a yacht was in distress close inshore off West Dale Point. There was a south-easterly gale with a rough sea, and the weather was overcast. The life-boat Richard Vernon and Mary Garforth of Leeds was launched at 1.5 and made for the position given. It was low water. The lifeboat came up with the casualty, the yacht Marjory Gaw of Littlehampton, at 1.50. The yacht was drifting on to rocks below H.M.S. Keete, the exnaval establishment. The life-boat closed the yacht and took off the crew of four, two of whom were women. A manila line was then made fast to the yacht, but this quickly parted, and the second coxswain boarded the yacht and made fast a nylon rope. The life-boat, with the yacht in tow, then made for Pembroke dock, where the yacht was moored. The life-boat returned to her station at 5.45..
