Llandudno, Caernarvonshire - At 7.55 p.m. on 2ist May, 1966, the honorary secretary was informed that a yacht had capsized one mile north of Penmaen Head. The life-boat Lilly Wainwright was launched at 8.20 and on her way to the reported casualty she sighted a capsized yacht one mile off Colwyn Bay pier.

She asked the Rhos Yacht Club, via the coastguard, whether the occupants had been taken ashore, and then went to the position. A helicopter joined the search and spotted the first yacht three miles north of Penmaen Head. The life-boat moved to the new position and after further consultation with the coastguard it was confirmed that the occupants of both yachts had been taken ashore and were safe. The life-boat took both yachts in tow and returned to Llandudno harbour. She reached her station at 1.45 a.m. next day. A donation was made to the Institution's funds..
