St. Ivcs, Cornwall. At 3.30 p.m. on 7th July, 1964, a member of the inshore rescue boat crew saw the sailing dinghy Penny II capsize off St. Ives pier, throwing the two occupants into the water. The inshore rescue boat immediately launched in a strong west-southwesterly breeze and moderate sea. The tide was flooding. One of the two crew members of the sailing dinghy was taken on board the inshore rescue boat while the other was helped to right the dinghy.

The inshore rescue boat returned to her station at 3.45..
