SECOND COXSWAIN PUT ABOARD YACHT Ramsgate, Kent. At 9.8 on the morning of the 14th April, 1963, the east pier watchman informed the honorary secretary that a yacht was aground on the harbour bar. There was a moderate to fresh south-westerly breeze and a choppy sea. It was low water. The life-boat Michael and Lily Davis put out at 9.22 and found the yacht Tumbler of Brightlingsea with a crew of four. She was being pounded by the sea, and the second coxswain was put aboard. Shortly afterwards the yacht's anchor cable parted and she was driven by the heavy seas into deeper water. The life-boat escorted her into Ramsgate harbour and reached her station at 9.35..
