Beaumaris, Anglesey - At 4.20 p.m. on 28th June, 1967, news was received that a small sloop was in difficulties two miles north west of Penmon Point. The life-boat Field Marshal and Mrs. Smuts was launched at 4.45 in a south south westerly gale and a rough sea.

The tide was ebbing. The life-boat found the yacht Martini at 5.20 and took the crew of two on board. With the yacht in tow she returned to Beaumaris, arriving at 6.45. After mooring the yacht alongside the pier, the life-boat was left on moorings until the weather was suitable for her to be rehoused at 5 p.m. on 29th June..
