Atlantic College, Glamorganshire.

At 2.30 p.m. on 28th October, 1965, while the two IRB's (Nos. 33 and 38) were on exercise, with four sailing dinghies and the Atlantic College boat Aphrodite, the breeze freshened. The tide had just started flooding and became turbulent, causing a dinghy to get into difficulties. Aphrodite went to the dinghy's assistance, but while trying to take her in tow the engine stalled and could not be started. The Aphrodite was anchored and later towed ashore by IRB No. 38.

The remaining dinghies were by now in difficulties and drifting capsized to the east, only being upright for short periods.

IRB No. 33 went to one dinghy, but a sudden breaking wave flooded and stalled the engine. IRB No. 38 went to two dinghies and took oflf their crews after the dinghies had been anchored. When their crews had been taken ashore she returned to IRB No. 33 and took off her crew of three. It was decided not to bring No. 33 ashore, so she was anchored for the night. No. 38 returned to her station at 4.40 p.m..
