During the night of 18/19 March 1988 a 25ft Jaguar class yacht, on passage from Ramsgate to Gillingham ran aground in strong winds, fog and driving rain at Jury's Gap, Camber.

Rye's C class inflatable The Lewes Appeal and Dungeness's 37ft Rother Alice Upjohn were launched early the next morning and were able to tow the yacht off to continue her passage.

The C class is pictured transferring the tow from the shallows to the Rother which is standing off in deeper water. (Photo C. S. Shore).
