Fowey, Cornwall - At 9.10 a.m. on 2nd September, 1966, a yacht was thought to have capsized between Looe and Polperro.

The life-boat Deneys Reitz proceeded at 9.20 in a strong westerly wind with a moderate sea. It was one hour after high water. It was then reported that the yacht Sirocco, of Port Wrinkle, had sailed from Polperro at 6.40 for Salcombe, and was reported to be about five hundred yards off Downderry on a lee shore. The yacht was escorted by the life-boat round Rame Head and into Cawsand bay where she anchored. The life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 2.40..
