NINE RESCUED FROM YACHT IN GALE Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. At 2.35 on the morning of the 7th August, 1962, a man telephoned to say that cries for help could be heard off Bouldnor and that red flares could be seen. Thirteen minutes later the life-boat S.G.E. put to sea. She made a search in a northwesterly gale, a rough sea and a flooding tide and found the 25-ton sailing yacht Robbe of London, which had a crew of nine. The yacht had dragged her anchor and had run aground in Bouldnor Bay, where she was pounding. The life-boat rescued the nine people, towed the yacht to Lymington, and reached her station again at 4.36..
