Aberystwyth, Cardiganshire. At 12.50 p.m. on 23rd August, 1964, the police told the honorary secretary that a motor boat had capsized five to six miles north of Aberystwyth. At 12.55 the inshore rescue boat launched in a fresh south-westerly breeze and choppy sea.

The tide was ebbing. The inshore rescue boat took off the motor boat's crew of two who were landed at Berth. Because of relaunching difficulties off Borth beach the inshore rescue boat returned to her station by road. The inshore rescue boat reached her station at 1.30..
