12 July: Four teenagers and an adult found themselves powerless when their angling boat's engine failed. They were drifting towards rocks near Ardnamurchan Point, the most westerly part of the British mainland. Tobermory's Severn class lifeboat Elizabeth Fairlie Ramsey launched, to find that another pleasurecraft had come to the drifters' aid, towing them clear of danger. The lifeboat took over the tow and brought the boat and her occupants to nearby Kilchoan.
