St. David's, Pembrokeshire - At 2.56 a.m. on 24th May, 1966, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the yacht Ranger of Lune was in difficulties ten miles north-west of South Bishop's rock, as her engine had broken down. The life-boat Joseph Soar (Civil Service No. 34} was launched at 3.20 in a moderate south-westerly wind and a moderate sea. It was almost low water. She went to the position given, and found the casualty at 4.48. She took the yacht in tow and headed for Solva. After clearing Ramsey Sound before the flood tide became too strong, the life-boat reduced speed so that there would be sufficient water when they arrived to get the casualty alongside the Quay Wall. When the Ranger of Lune was safely berthed, the life-boat returned to her station which she reached at 9.52 a.m..
