New Quay, Cardiganshire - At 6.10 p.m. on 29th August, 1968, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a yacht was in difficulties three to four miles west of New Quay head. The IRB was launched at 6.25 in a fresh north easterly breeze with a rough sea. It was low water. As the yacht was drifting on to a lee shore it was decided that the IRB should stand by until the arrival of the life-boat St. Albans, which was launched 15 minutes later. The lifeboat came up with the yacht Mo-Jo of New Quay with four people on board at 7.10. The yacht had a broken rudder. The life-boat towed her to New Quay, arriving at 8.20.

Owing to the state of the tide the lifeboatlifeboat remained afloat and the IRB landed the four survivors of the yacht and the life-boat crew. The life-boat was rehoused when the tide permitted at 11 o'clock..
