Dover, Kent - At 1.47 p.m. on I2th July, 1966, the harbour control station informed the honorary secretary that an auxiliary motor yacht was dismasted and in difficulties about one mile and a half south of the breakwater. Her engine had broken down. The life-boat Southern Africa left her moorings at 2.6 in a strong south-westerly wind and a rough sea. It was four and a half hours before high water. A small oil tanker stood by the auxiliary sloop Kenfine, of Dover, until the life-boat arrived. The life-boat towed the Kenfine to a safe anchorage in Dover harbour, returning to her station at 3.30..
