YACHT RESCUED Ramsgate, Kent. At 8.45 a.m. on 23rd January, 1965, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that red flares had been observed approximately half a mile west from Margate Hook Beacon. A helicopter was sent to investigate but after finding the yacht Starshine II of Faversham aground with four persons on board the life-boat was asked to stand by. The life-boat Michael and Lily Davies was launched at 9.33 in a gentle westerly breeze and a moderate sea. She reached the yacht at 11.35 and placed two members of her crew aboard to secure a line so as to tow the yacht to Ramsgate after she refloated. The Starshine II was towed to Ramsgate harbour and the life-boat reached her station at 5.15 p.m..
