SKIN DIVERS PASS LINE TO YACHT Exmouth, Devon. At 3.45 on the afternoon of the 14th April, 1963, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a small sailing yacht had been blown on to the Pole Sands and that she was inside the breakwater. A little later it was discovered that she had almost run aground. The life-boat crew were therefore asked to go in the boarding boat to assess the position, and when they returned they brought back with them three young children, who had been on board the yacht Kalora, and who were handed over to the second coxswain's wife to be cared for. The yacht was aground, and as the tide was flooding, it was decided to launch the lifeboat Cecil and Lillian Philpot, which was on temporary duty at the station, to help refloat her. There were still two people on board the yacht. The life-boat put out at 4.40 in a south-westerly gale and a rough sea. With the help of two skin divers, who had come across the sandbank, a line was passed, and the yacht was refloated. The life-boat then towed her back to Exmouth docks and reached her station at 6.15..
