Great Yarmouth & Gorleston, Norfolk - At 1.52 a.m. on 4th October, 1967, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a yacht was in difficulties seven miles from Smiths Knoll and another yacht appeared to be in difficulties 14 to 16 miles from Lowestoft. It was agreed to launch to the yacht at Smiths Knoll. The life-boat Khami slipped her moorings at 2.23. The tide was ebbing. The life-boat came up with the casualty at 4.36. The yacht with two people on board was leaking badly and her rudder had jammed.

A line was passed and she was taken in tow to Gorleston harbour. On rearing the harbour the tow was brought alongside the life-boat to negotiate the harbour mouth. The life-boat returned to her station at 1 p.m..
