TWO YACHTS TAKEN IN TOW New Brighton, Cheshire. At 7.20 on the evening of the 22nd June, 1963, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a yacht was aground between the revetment and Taylor's bank. The life-boat White Star, on temporary duty at the station, put out at 7.40 in a moderate north-north-westerly wind and a choppy sea. It was two hours after low water. The life-boat came up with the yacht Wind Rush, which had refloated, near C.19 buoy in the channel of the Mersey estuary and escorted her up river to calmer waters. On the way back to the station the crew saw another yacht drifting near the Burbo bank, and on reaching the position they found the yacht Ariel with no one on board.

The life-boat towed the empty yacht to New Brighton and reached her moorings at 9.45..
