Walmer, Kent. On 8th August, 1964, members of the life-boat crew saw a sailing dinghy capsize a mile north-northeast of the life-boathouse. The two members of the dinghy's crew were unable to right the boat as her mainsail appeared to be jammed. At 5.10 p.m. the inshore rescue boat launched in a fresh south-westerly breeze and choppy sea.

It was low water. She took on board one of the two crew members, who was clinging to the dinghy, and helped the other to right the boat, which was then towed to the beach. The inshore rescue boat returned to her station at 6.20..
