A Speed Boat and a Dinghy

Aberdovey, Merioneth. At 2.30 p.m. on 9th August, 1964, the Outward Bound Sea School look-out saw a submerged dinghy and a capsized speedboat with one person on board being carried put to sea by the ebbing tide. At 2.35 the inshore rescue boat launched in a slight north-westerly breeze and slight sea.

She took the person on board, and the dinghy and speedboat were towed to the beach. The inshore rescue boat returned to her station at 3.15..
