POLISH YACHT AGROUND Clacton-on-Sea, Essex. At one minute past nine on the morning of Tuesday the 24th September, 1963, the honorary secretary received a message that a large yacht had gone aground in the vicinity of Barrow No. 6 buoy and had taken a heavy list. It was then the fourth hour of the ebb with a slight sea and a light breeze from the south-west. No distress signals had been displayed from the yacht, but as the morning progressed the weather began to deteriorate to a strong breeze from the south-west and a moderate sea. At 11.28 the life-boat Sir Godfrey Baring left the slipway. The naval survey craft H.M.S. Enterprise was standing by the Polish yacht Jan-z-Kolna of Gydnia when the life-boat arrived, and they stood by until the yacht refloated at 1.50 p.m. A naval officer was then transferred from the yacht back to H.M.S. Enterprise and the yacht with a crew of 16 was escorted by the survey ship to Sheerness. As there was too much sea running to rehouse the lifeboat she sailed for Brightlingsea, arriving there at 3.40. She returned to Clacton at 9.30 the following morning..
