YACHT WAS AGROUND At 10.7 p.m. on 2nd August, 1964, a local resident informed the honorary secretary that a white flare had been seen at the entrance to Morar bay. It was halftide with a moderate sea and a gentle south-westerly breeze. At 10.20 the lifeboat E. M. M. Gordon Cubbin put out and at 10.55 the small sailing yacht Pirouttie was found aground on Sand Bar at the approach to the harbour. Manoeuvring with the aid of parachute flares, the lifeboat succeeded in towing the yacht, which had a crew of two, to a safe berth in Mallaig harbour. The life-boat returned to her station shortly after midnight..
