A Yacht (2)

CREW WERE SAFE Fishguard, Pembrokeshire. At 2.38 p.m. on yth August, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a yacht had capsized off Dinas Head in rough seas and a moderate to fresh west-southwesterly breeze. The tide was one hour after low water. At 2.50 the life-boat Howard Marryat was launched but when the capsized yacht was reached it was found that her crew of two had already been taken off by another small boat. The life-boat towed the yacht to Cwm-yr- Eglwys and returned to her station at 5.10..
