TWO LANDED FROM CAPSIZED RACING YACHT Wicklow, Co. Wicklow. At 2.50 on the afternoon of Saturday the 24th of August, 1963, the coxswain received a telephone message from a member of the public who had seen a red flare being burnt on board a small coaster two miles north-east of the harbour. The coxswain studied the coaster through his binoculars and saw she was alongside what appeared to be a capsized yacht.

He at once mustered the crew and launched the life-boat J. W. Archer at five minutes past three on the high tide.

On arrival at the scene of the casualty it was found that an international 505 yacht Rogue of Dun Laoghaire had capsized and the crew of two had been taken on board the coaster. The life-boat took off the two men and towed the yacht into harbour. The life-boat was rehoused at 4.20. The weather had been showery with a moderate breeze from the west-north-west..
