Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire. At 6.30 a.m. on 6th August, 1965, a yawl was reported stopped between Rosehearty and Sandhaven, apparently broken down.

Her crew were waving an oilskin. There was a westerly wind of near gale force and a rough sea. It was two hours before high water. The life-boat Thomas McCunn, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 7.2 and found the fishing yawl Dauntless Star with two men on board. The yawl was taken in tow and the life-boat reached her station at 7.55 a.m..
