CAUGHT IN HERRING NET Lowestoft, Suffolk. At 10.58 a.m. on nth October, 1963, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a yacht was burning a red flare a mile and a half from Lowestoft coastguard lookout. There was a fresh south-westerly breeze with a slight sea. It was low water. The life-boat Frederick Edward Crick was launched at n.10 and came up with the yacht Leila on the south end of the Holm Sand. The yacht, bound from Ramsgate to Yarmouth, had two people on board. A herring net had fouled her propeller. The coxswain put three of his crew on board the yacht to haul up the anchor and then towed her to Lowestoft, arriving at 12.30 p.m..
