Windy Conditions Cause a Sailboat to Flip Over in Traverse City

Posted: Updated:

Windy conditions caused a catamaran sailboat to flip over this afternoon, in Traverse City.

Two men were enjoying the day, when the wind caused them to turn the wrong way, overturning their boat.

The Grand Traverse County Sheriff's Marine Division, as well as the fire department, assisted the men in turning the boat right-side-up and getting safely to shore.

Authorities tell 9 and 10 News that the men were wearing life jackets, but in situations like these, the fire department always goes to the scene prepared.

They followed the men back to shore, to ensure the boat didn't flip again.
