Clogher Head, Co. Louth - At i.o p.m. on I2th August, 1967, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a yacht with white sails and a red hull appeared to be in difficulties off Carlingford bar.

The life-boat George and Caroline Ermen was launched at 2 o'clock in a strong north westerly breeze and a rough sea.

It was high water. The life-boat came up with the yacht with one man on board who told them that he was bound for Carlingford. In view of the heavy sea the life-boat escorted the yacht until she safely reached Clogher Head harbour.

The life-boat then returned to her station at 4.30..
