GirS caught in Dinghy rigging TWO PEOPLE clinging to a capsized dinghy one mile offshore, south of Towyn, were reported to Aberdovey honorary secretary by the Coastguard at 1220 on Friday, April 4.

The ILB launched at 1225. There was a moderate north-easterly wind, a slight sea and an incoming tide. Visibility was good. On reaching the dinghy, a man was found trying to help his ten-year-old daughter who was caught in the rigging.

He was pulled aboard the ILB and a member of the crew dived into the water to release the girl. Although unconscious at the time of rescue, she regainedconsciousness periodically on the return journey. On landing, father and daughter were both admitted to Towyn Hospital where they later recovered.

The ILB returned to station at 1315..
