The Lizard-Cadgwith, Cornwall - At 8.12 p.m. on 9th September, 1967, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a yacht appeared to be in difficulties off the Blackhead, Lizard.

The honorary secretary suggested that the yacht be guided to the lifeboat moorings at Kilcobben Cove for the night. At 9 o'clock the yacht was seen under the cliffs and in view of a bad weather forecast it was decided to launch the life-boat. The life-boat Duke of Cornwall (Civil Service No. 33) was launched at 10.20 in a smooth sea. It was low water. The yacht Chanticleer with four people on board was taken in tow to Falmouth and the life-boat returned to her station at 4.15 a.m.
