Tnalassa

Holyhead, Anglesey - At 12.25 a.m.

on 24th August, 1969, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a yacht was aground on the breakwater head. The life-boat St. Cybi {Civil Service No. 9) slipped her moorings at 1.8 in a strong northerly breeze with a moderate sea. The tide was ebbing. The life-boat came up with the yacht Tnalassa with four people on board. A tow line was made fast but the line parted. A further line was passed to the yacht which was then taken in tow to the harbour. The life-boat returned to her station at 6 o'clock..
