DRIFTING TRIMARAN TOWED TO SAFETY Howth, Co. Dublin. At eight o'clock on the morning of Saturday the 10th of August, 1963, the Baily lighthousekeeper told the honorary secretary that a trimaran had been seen drifting and apparently out of control. The lifeboat A.M.T. was launched at 8.24 in a fresh south-south-westerly wind and moderate sea. It was an hour before low water. She found the trimaran, which had broken adrift from Skerries harbour during the night and had no one on board, six miles south-east of Rockabill.

The life-boat took the trimaran in tow and returned to her station at five minutes past one..
