At 9.18 p.m. on Tuesday the 16th of July, 1963, the east pier watchman told the honorary secretary that the yacht K.N. was firing distress signals three quarters of a mile south of Ramsgate harbour. The lifeboat Michael and Lily Davis was launched at 9.30 in a gentle southwesterly wind and slight sea. It was an hour and a half after high water. The life-boat found the yacht with three people aboard, took her in tow and returned to Ramsgate. The life-boat returned to her station at 9.45..
