OVERTURNED DINGHIES At 11.44 a.m. on loth June, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a small yacht in the direction of Penrhos Bay appeared to be in difficulties. A helicopter had been alerted and had already set out. The sea was choppy, the wind was increasing in strength to a fresh breeze, and the sky was overcast.

At 12.7 p.m., with the tide one hour after high water, the life-boat St. Cybi (Civil Service No. 9) was launched. At 12.25 the sailing dinghy was found overturned and another was noticed nearby, also overturned. Both boats were taken in tow, both crews of two having been rescued by the helicopter. The life-boat returned to her station at 1.55..
