The Lizard/Cadgwith, Cornwall-At 10.23 p.m. on 26th June, 1968, the honorary secretary picked up a radio distress call, confirmed shortly afterwards by the coastguard, that the trimaran San Giorgio was in difficulties 12 miles south south east of the Lizard. The life-boat Duke of Cornwall (Civil Service No. 33) was launched at 10.45 in a south westerly gale and a rough sea. It was three hours after high water. The life-boat came up with the trimaran at 12.8 a.m. on 27th June. There was only one person on board. The trimaran had hit an obstruction off the Scillies and besides leaking had also sustained damage to her rudder. The life-boat took her in tow to Falmouth and returned to her station at 7.30..
