A Sailing Dinghy (5)
Walmer, Kent. At about 3.5 p.m.
on 6th June, 1965, life-boatmen at the boat house saw a sailing dinghy capsize some three-quarters of a mile southeast of the station. At 3.5 p.m. the inshore rescue boat launched in a moderate to fresh southerly breeze and choppy sea. The tide was flooding. The IRB made for the position of the dinghy which had not been righted, and took her crew of two on board. The sailing dinghy was then righted by the IRB crew and towed to the beach. The IRB returned to her station at 4.10 p.m..
