TOW FOR YACHT WITH NINE ABOARD Holyhead, Anglesey. At 9.30 on the evening of the 13th August, 1962, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a yacht was flashing a light off North Stack and appeared in trouble.

There was a light north-east breeze, and the sea was smooth. At 9.34 the lifeboat St. Cybi (Civil Service No. 9) was launched at high water. She found the yacht Troll about a mile and a half northnorth- west of the South Stack with her engine broken down. Nine people were on board. The life-boat towed the Troll to Holyhead and then returned to her station, which she reached at 11.30..
