DONATION MADE Dunbar, East Lothian. At 840 p.m.

on I5th June, 1965, a member of the public told the coxswain that a catamaran had capsized about 300/400 yards off the harbour entrance. The life-boat Margaret put out at 8.51 in a light southerly breeze and a slight sea. It was one hour before low water. As the life-boat reached the position a motor launch arrived and took the catamaran's occupant on board. The life-boat took the catamaran in tow and reached her station at 9.25 p.m. The owner of the catamaran made a donation to the Institution's funds..
