TOW FOR YACHT TO HARBOUR Peterhead, Aberdeenshire. At 8.50 on the morning of the 19th August, 1962, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that red flares had been seen from a small yacht off Whinnyfold, Cruden Bay. There was a light breeze blowing from the south-south-east with a moderate sea. The life-boat Julia Park Barry of Glasgow was launched at nine o'clock on an ebb tide. The weather was fine. The life-boat made for the position given and came up with the casualty at 10.22. She was a small yacht named Vedette with a crew of four. The Vedette was on passage from Aberdeen to Longhope, but her engine had failed off the shores of Cruden. The life-boat made fast a line and towed the yacht to Peterhead harbour. She then returned to her station, arriving at 12.21..
