Filey ILB launched at 1515 after the crew of a small boat had been reported waving an oar. It was one of the sailing club's own rescue boats and the club's other rescue boat came to her assistance, arriving just after the ILB. The club rescue boat took her 'partner' in tow, the ILB escorting both boats through the tideway. The ILB then returned to station and was rehoused by 1527.

For these services a letter of thanks signed by John Atterton, deputy director of the Institution, was sent to the coxswain, crew and shore helpers of Filey lifeboat station..
