SUFFERING FROM EXPOSURE Moelfre, Anglesey. At 3.20 p.m. on ist August, 1965, the coastguard reported that a yacht had been dismasted two miles north-east of Moelfre Island and at 3.27 the life-boat Watkin Williams was launched with the second coxswain in command.

The coxswain had put off earlier in the IRB to go to the help of a boat in Dulas Bay. The life-boat made for the yacht in a strong south-westerly wind, rough sea and ebbing tide. She rescued the yacht's crew of three, who were suffering from exposure, and towed her to Benllech. The life-boat then returned to her station, arriving at 5.5 p.m. The Inspector of Life-boats for the North-West accompanied the life-boat crew on this service..
