Swanage, Dorset - At 10.38 a.m. on 5th June, 1966, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a yacht had been dismasted and was firing flares two miles south east of St. Alban's Head. The life-boat R.L.P. was launched at 10.46 in a strong south westerly wind and a choppy sea. It was one hour and a half before high water. The life-boat found the yacht Sirena II three miles east south east of St. Alban's Head with her engine broken down and another yacht standing by. The life-boat took the casualty in tow to Poole quay, arriving at 3.20 p.m..
