Aldeburgh, Suffolk - At 7.10 a.m. on 22nd August, 1966, a yacht off Dunwich required assistance. There was a gale from the north east with a rough sea. It was two hours before high water. The life-boat Charles Cooper Henderson, on temporary duty at the station, launched at 7.35. She found the yacht Droomboot with a crew of two on board. Her engine had failed and the mainsail could not be hoisted. The life-boat towed the yacht to Shingle Street where a member of the life-boat crew was put on board. He sailed the yacht up to Aldeburgh. The life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 1.25 p.m..
