Dorus Mhor

Ramsgate, Kent - At 10.5 a.m. on 28th May, 1967, it was learned that the yacht Dorus Mhor was in difficulties with a lost rudder one mile north west of the Sandettie lightvessel. The life-boat Edward and Isabella Irwin, on temporary duty at the station, slipped her moorings at 10.25 m a moderate south westerly breeze and a corresponding sea. It was low water. After a search the yacht was sighted off Broadstairs and a line was passed. The yacht with six people on board was towed to Ramsgate and the life-boat returned to her moorings at 6.5 p.m..
