Walmer, Kent. At approximately 6.53 p.m. on 7th July, 1965, life-boatmen at the boathouse saw an overturned dinghy with her crew of two in the water a mile seawards off Deal pier. The IRB launched immediately, in a light northwesterly breeze and calm sea. She found the sailing dinghy had been righted, but was unmanageable with mainsail trouble and was being driven seawards on the flood tide towards the Goodwin Fork Buoy. The IRB took the dinghy in tow and returned to her station at 7.45 p.m..
