A Sailing Dinghy
Aberystwyth, Cardiganshire. At 2.25 p.m. on 26th February, 1964, the coastguard saw a small sailing dinghy capsize about one and a half miles off shore. As it had previously been agreed that in the honorary secretary's absence, the coastguard would be responsible for launching the life-boat, he immediately took action. There was a moderate southeasterly breeze with a corresponding sea, and the tide was flooding. The life-boat Aguila Wren launched at 2.40 with the second coxswain in command, took the dinghy's crew of two on board, and towed the dinghy back to the beach. The lifeboat returned to her station at 3.45. A donation was made to the funds of the Institution by the sailing club and by the parents of one of the dinghy's crew..
