Just after 1000 that morning Filey Coastguard reported a dismasted yacht off Filey Buoy. The wind had gone round to north west and had risen again to a fresh breeze, force 5; the sea was rough. At 1014 the lifeboat launched to escort the 25ft yacht, which was under her own power, through the heavy seas into Bridlington Bay. During the passage, Bridlington ILB, returning from service, offered to meet the yacht and lifeboat round Flamborough Head.

This offer was accepted and the ILB took over the escort. Filey lifeboat returned to station and was rehoused by 1255 with tremendous spirit despite the fact that there had been three launches and rehousings in 24 hours..
