TRIMARAN SAVED Dover, Kent. At 4.22 a.m. on loth April, 1965, a resident at Folkestone informed the honorary secretary that a red flare had been seen off Folkestone. The life-boat Southern Africa proceeded at 4.55 in a strong south-south-westerly wind, and a rough sea. It was one hour and a half before high water. On leaving the harbour the coxswain saw the glare of a flare to the west, and when the life-boat was hah0 a mile from the casualty, which was then two miles and a half south west by west of Dover, another red flare was burnt. She was the trimaran Nimble Wisbee with a crew of two, who were found in an exhausted condition. The yacht had shipped so much water that she could not be handled and the lifeboat took her in tow. The crew were told that if the Nimble Wisbee shipped further water they would be taken off, but they arrived safely in Wellington Dock and the life-boat reached her station at seven o'clock..
