A Catamaran

Walmer, Kent. At 4.14 p.m. on 9th April, 1964, the inshore rescue boat no.

14 was launched to help a sailing dinghy which had been seen to capsize half a mile south-east of the life-boathouse. There was a fresh southerly breeze with a moderate sea. It was low water. The crew of the inshore rescue boat helped to right the catamaran and assisted the crew of two to regain the boat. The inshore rescue boat returned to her station at 4.55. One of the dinghy's crew made a donation to the Institution's funds..
