Eve

Teesmouth, Yorkshire - At 8.35 p.m.

on 23rd June, 1967, it was learned that a trimaran had gone ashore in Coatham bay near the Warrenby outfall. The two men on board intended to put to sea again the following morning. In view of the amount of swell, and as contact could not be made with the trimaran, the lifeboat Sarah Jane and James Season was launched at 2 a.m. on 24th June in a moderate westerly breeze. The tide was flooding. At 2.30 the life-boat came up with the trimaran Eve with her rudder and centre board broken. She was taken in tow to the Tees and moored at the lifeboat's deep water mooring. The life-boat was rehoused at 4.30..
