Redcar, Yorkshire. At 6.30 p.m. on loth July, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a small boat with two people on board had been sighted in difficulties 150 yards off shore. The honorary secretary and the mechanic used the loud hailer from the beach but could not be heard as the boat was too far away.

At 6.40 the inshore rescue boat launched in a moderate westerly breeze and slight sea. The tide was ebbing. The inshore rescue boat brought in the two people, towed their boat, and returned to her station at 6.55..
