Kilmore, Co. Wexford - At 5.30 p.m. on 20th May, 1966, the honorary secretary at Dunmore East informed the Kilmore honorary secretary that a yacht was in difficulties off the Conningbeg lightvessel. The life-boat Cecil Paine was launched at 5.45 in a light southerly wind and a smooth sea. When she came up with the cabin cruiser Sure Return, it was found that the casualty had engine trouble, but was already being towed to Dunmore East by the Dutch coaster Fastnet. Having assisted them to get under way, the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 8.10 p.m..
