WOMAN WAVED FOR HELP Cromer, Norfolk. At 4.5 p.m. on 5th July, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a yacht with a man and a woman on board was reported to be in difficulties close inshore near Mundesley Church. A rope had fouled her propeller and while trying to clear it from a dinghy the man had fallen overboard. He had appeared ill as he climbed aboard again and the woman had emerged from the cabin and waved her arms. She had also raised the flag "W" requesting medical help. There was a moderate westerly breeze, with a moderate sea and the tide was one hour after high water. The no. i life-boat Henry Blogg was launched at 4.20 and a helicopter's help was also requested.

When the life-boat reached the yacht Sally Brown three members of the life-boat crew boarded her, helping to clear the fouled propeller and to get her under way. The life-boat returned to her station at 6.30. A donation was made to the Institution's funds..
