BOY AND YACHT IN DOUBLE RESCUE Lowestoft, Suffolk. The honorary secretary received a report from the coastguard during the afternoon of Sunday the 28th of July, 1963, that a boy was drowning off Pakefield beach. The lifeboat Frederick Edward Crick was launched at five o'clock and proceeded to a position indicated by a member of the public. When the life-boat reached the position she found that a yacht had picked up the boy and in doing so had become half filled with water. The boy was taken from the yacht and given first aid and the yacht towed to the yacht station.

The sea had been choppy with a moderate wind from the east-north-east.

The life-boat returned to her moorings at five minutes past six..
