YACHT AGROUND Kirkcudbright. At 5.06 p.m. on nth April, 1965, a local boatman informed the honorary secretary that he had seen a cabin cruiser on the rocks off the Balmangan shore of Ross Bay. There was a strong westerly breeze with a slight sea.

It was just after low water. The life-boat J. B. Couper of Glasgow launched at 5.30 and soon came up with the yacht Namanda of Whitehaven wnich was aground and swinging violently from side to side with the swell. A line was made fast and the yacht was towed into deep water. After inspection to ensure she was not damaged the yacht proceeded to Whitehaven and the life-boat returned to her station arriving at 7.30 p.m..
