A Sailing Dinghy (5)

Redcar, Yorkshire. At 4.44 p.m. on 28th August, 1965, a sailing dinghy was reported to have capsized off Majuba.

The IRB was launched immediately in a south-westerly breeze and calm sea. She found the dinghy with one person on board and towed it to the beach. A beach patrolman who had swum out to assist in this service got into difficulties and was brought ashore in the IRB. She returned to her station at 5 p.m..
