Rani

Dover, Kent - At 3.18 a.m. on 30th July, 1967, the coxswain was informed that a yacht with a broken mast was almost ashore in Fan bay, about three miles east of Dover. The life-boat Faithful Forester slipped her moorings at 3.29 in a strong south westerly breeze and a rough sea. The tide was flooding.

The life-boat returned to her station at 5.45..
