CAPSIZED Llandudno, Caernarvonshire. At 1.5 p.m. on 16th April, 1965, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a message had been received from the lighthouse keeper that a small yacht had capsized about a quarter of a mile off the Orme's Head light and that the crew of three were in difficulties hi the water. The life-boat Lilly Wainwright was launched at 1.20 in a moderate westnorth- westerly breeze and a choppy sea.

The tide was ebbing when the life-boat reached the sailing dinghy Wiz of Penmaenmawr, her crew had managed to scramble aboard but they were exhausted.

They were taken on board the life-boat and received first aid. With two members of the life-boat crew on board the sailing dinghy was taken in tow and the lifeboat reached her station at 3 p.m..
