August 1979 saw one of the biggest rescue operations since World War Two when a ferocious storm coincided with the Fastnet Race.
Alongside the RNLI, the RAF, Royal Navy, Irish Air Force and other services worked tirelessly to save nearly 100 lives.
We dedicate this video to those brave souls, as well as the sailors who never made it home.
