Margate, Kent - At 3.57 p.m. on 25th June, 1967, it was reported that a yacht had capsized half a mile north of Margate pier. The life-boat North Foreland (Civil Service No. u) was launched shortly afterhigh water at 4.10 in a light north easterly wind and a slight sea. the weather was deteriorating rapidly and the wind soon reached gale force. The life-boat found the cabin cruiser Cariad Y Mor with a crew of three. Her engine had broken down.

She took her in tow to Margate and then returned to the area to assist the motor boat Heron, also with engine trouble. The Heron had already taken over the tow of a dinghy from the motor boat Lysander and had taken her crew member on board.

Both boats were taken in tow by the lifeboat.

Eventually the tow was transferred to the IRB and the life-boat made a final search of the area, returning to her station at 6.30..
