Troon, Ayrshire. At 10.30 p.m. on 25th September, 1965, the coastguard at Portpatrick told the honorary secretary that a small cabin cruiser was in difficulties between Sannop and Bute. The life-boat James and Barbara Aitken proceeded at 10.45 in a south-easterly breeze. It was three hours to high water and there was a slight swell. The life-boat found the cabin cruiser Rascal drifting helplessly in a northerly direction with six people aboard. The cruiser was towed to moorings at Fairlie and the life-boat returned to her station at 6.30 a.m..
