Erita
Newhaven, Sussex - At 5.40 p.m. on loth July, 1966, a cabin cruiser was seen drifting off Roedean gap. There was a strong south-westerly wind with a moderate sea. The life-boat Kathleen Mary launched at 5.58 on an ebbing tide, and at 6.45 came up with the yacht Erita whose engines had broken down. The Erita, which had 14 people on board, some of whom were in a very distressed condition, was taken in tow by the life-boat and brought safely back to Newhaven at 8.25..
